It goes further back than that.

Meanwhile, Asian Americans, a demographic that barely existed numerically in the 1960s, now earns and owns significantly more per capita than white Americans.

Ok? Seems like more of what jd3189 was saying.

Virtually all of the wealth in the United States has been generated in recent decades. We are exponentially more productive and wealthier in 2023 than we were during the 1960s. The GDP reached $1 trillion for the first time in 1970. It is now in excess of $20 trillion.

That didn't prevent the post-war housing boom and the explosion of suburbs from happening.
