As of 2021, the overall literacy rate in the United States is around 86%. While data specific to literacy rates by race may vary, generally, white and Asian populations tend to have higher literacy rates compared to Black and Hispanic populations. Socioeconomic factors and access to quality education also play a significant role in determining literacy rates across different racial groups.
