The median incomes of all Hispanic families and married-coupled families both increased by about 9 percent. The differences between the percentage in creases for White and Black families were not statistically different fron comparable Hispanic families. Neither the number of poor nor the pover ty rate changed significantly for Blacks or Whites between 1985-1986. The number of Hispanics in poverty did not change, but the rate declined.
