There are multiple career paths to making +100k. Don't assume all the family households being measured are ran by Doctors, Engineers and Lawyers. Don't assume all the family households are ran by two working parents. Don't assume all family households are two parents in general. If you can understand the implications of these previous statements then you can imagine how results can vary.

Also factors like extended family and extracurricular activities can play a role. An educated grandparent, aunt or uncle can provide extra opportunities in performing better academically than uneducated extended family. A child whose activities afterschool involve more intellectual pursuits instead of athletic pursuits is going to have an increase likelihood of doing better academically.

Basically a few key factors contribute to hijacking the distribution of a given process. Investing inflates the economic value of the wealthy due to them gauging their financial value by ownership of corporate assets, companies or supply chains rather than physical money in a bank or at hand like people who make under 200k do. Meanwhile recidivism inflates crime statistics because individuals are allowed to be counted multiple times if the initial crime they commit isn't severe enough to warrant life sentence first go around. And with each low-level crime they continue to commit they increase the likelihood of being barred out of legal avenues that offer financial stability that gears them away from dependency on illegal acts. Thus are forced to rely more on illegal acts to achieve that stability instead.

In other words a billionaire isn't a billionaire because they physically own a billion dollars in a bank. They are a billionaire because the assets they own are estimated to be valued as such. And the African American community aren't a population with the most crime because they have the highest physical share of criminals. They have the most crime because a smaller sub-population of them are able to commit multiple offenses without life sentences and thus counted multiple times in crime statistics.

tldr: it's a unintentional glitch in a system. The glitch basically manipulates distribution become more asymmetrical.
