By ancestry

NB: The list of ethnic groups (by ancestry) seems to have been arbitrarily curated, since it excludes many Asian-American ethnic groups whose per capita incomes are significantly higher than those listed below.^[8] In addition, the table omits Americans of Native American ancestry as well as Americans of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.
