It's divided by whether you own real estate or equities.

Immigrant homeownership is starkly lower than native-born Americans' [1].

We're probably going to see a surge in that disparity, now, given the immigrant workforce that builds and renovates houses is in the process of being gutted. That increases the value of existing stock.
