Marriages between Black and white individuals account for only 11% of all interracial marriages in the United States.
Notes on verification
Multiple sources corroborate the figure, but one is a Harvard Gazette article with a future date (2026), which raises questions about sourcing reliability or a typo; the statistic itself aligns with known Pew Research data trends showing Black-white marriages are a minority of interracial unions compared to white-Hispanic or white-Asian pairings.
