Such a mystery. I just can’t figure it out.
From LATimes.com:
It’s hard to know exactly what’s going on with the numbers, Howard said. “We gotta dig deep to figure out what’s at play.”
I went to Wikipedia and looked at Iowa’s racial demographics: “According to the 2010 Census, 91.3% of the population was White (88.7% non-Hispanic white), 2.9% was Black or African American, 0.4% American Indian and Alaska Native, 1.7% Asian, 0.1% Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander, 1.8% from two or more races. 5.0% of the total population was of Hispanic or Latino origin (they may be of any race).”
Perhaps that has something to do with Iowa’s high graduation rate? White and East Asians tend to graduate from high school, blacks and latinos struggle to graduate from high school.
