People of color in Santa Rosa made $28,000 less than their white counterparts when comparing median annual earnings, landing the city in the 8th spot on a national list of mid-sized metropolitan areas with the biggest gap between the wages of white and minority workers.

The ranking, released Thursday by the financial technology startup Self Financial, Inc., relies on the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2019 American Community Survey data to compare median annual earnings.

The analysis shows white full-time workers in Santa Rosa earned $70,000 annually while workers who identified as anything other than non-Hispanic white earned $42,000 that same year, a 40% difference.

The city ranked 8th out of a list of 78 for mid-sized areas.
