The correct answer is: Two to three times higher than among elderly, non-Hispanic whites. This is a bit of a sad fact but it is true, African American and Hispanic elders have a higher chance of being poor than non-Hispanic whites. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, but that is for a different discussion.
