I don't understand your question....I've shown you the best...as far as household income and low poverty rates, vs. the worst, in three counties/districts where black Americans are the majority population.
Maybe the info at thes two links will verify the extent that the wealth is not held by a Caucasian minority, in the wealthiest county, and the high crime impacts in a way that probably feeds on itself:

I've driven through DC neighborhoods where the poverty is so obvious from the look of the blighted residential and commercial buildings....those not boarded up or burnt out, that it broke my heart to think it could occur, on such a scale, just blocks from the Capitol and the White House. I've also driven through neihgborhoods in Dekalb and North Fulton, GA, where every home was upscale and featured late model luxury cars in the driveways...and each was owned and occupied by African American families. The areas are so upscale that it was possible, when encountering a police patrol car, to wonder if the officer is regarding you as suspicious looking simply by your presence...."wrong race", driving a vehicle not of a quality befitting the area....
It is an experience the opposite of segregation due to poverty. These segregated neighborhoods are still racially driven, but because of wealth, not poverty.
Maybe, in the US, a tendency towards commission of violent acts is a cultural trait....for lack of a better rhyme or reason:

Ethnic differences in tipping: a matter of familiarity with tipping norms.
By Lynn, Michael
Publication: Cornell Hotel & Restaurant Administration Quarterly
Date: Sunday, February 1 2004
(page 4)
(5) This black-white difference in tipping is not due to income or other demographic differences between the two ethnic groups, because that difference remained both sizable and statistically significant after controlling for sex, age, education, income, and household size.
