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. In addition, the table omits Americans of Native American ancestry as well as Americans of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.
