The aftermath of the 2020 racial awakening in America made it seem like corporations, politicians, and other institutions were taking discrimination and historical disparities seriously. Large companies denounced racism, threw millions of dollars at both internal and external programs, and hired diversity experts and executives. But the gaps are still everywhere you look: Consider the racial homeownership disparity.

According to a report by the McKinsey Institute for Black Economic Mobility released Thursday in honor of Black History Month, it could take more than three centuries for the gap between Black and white homeownership to close (320, to be precise). This means that Black Americans won’t have the same access to homeownership or lower rental burdens when compared to white Americans.

To close it sooner than that, according to McKinsey’s calculations, there would have to be a 20-year-long affordable housing plan, costing between $1.7 trillion to $2.4 trillion, producing 7.3 million units for low-income renters, most of which (4.5 million) would go to Black households.
