This pie chart shows that Marquette Park is mostly Black and Hispanic and as result it is extremely impoverished as shown in the information below proportionately speaking Marquette Park as whole is more impoverished than the entire city of Chicago. And that is due to the fact that most minorities and blacks do not have access to capitol especially blacks. If you view the entire Marquette neighborhood you might find one black owned store or facility but most of the businesses will be white owned how can that be if the majority of the people within the Marquette community are black and Hispanic?
