Pffft. I've been looking at census data for years. That file isn't going to tell me anything I don't already know. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, and you're going to sit there with the "he's a know-it-all" comments). It's going to tell me that
on average, Hispanics tend to have lower median incomes, and the poverty rate for Hispanics
as a group is higher than the overall rate for the U.S. In other news, rain is wet.
But since you want to sit there and throw stats at me, if say, 20% of Hispanics live in poverty, doesn't that mean 80% don't live in poverty?
Aside from the fact that there are plenty of poor people living in non-ghetto areas (whether it's because of government assistance or splitting a house/apartment, or rent stabilization or whatever), the fact that 80% are above the poverty line can mean anything from a few dollars above the poverty line, to being super-wealthy.
