DENVER (KDVR) — Black people and African Americans have better economic outcomes in Colorado than much of the rest of the country. An economic study from financial adviser SmartAsset tracks how Black or African Americans fare economically in 133 of the nation's largest cities. The study analyzed poverty, labor force and homeownership rates, as well as education and income levels. Only four metrics were included in the study's publicly available dashboard.
