Nine households control 15% of wealth in Silicon Valley as inequality widens

The report from San Jose State University's Human Rights Institute reveals a widening wealth inequality in Silicon Valley. Just nine households, or 0.1% of the region's residents, control 15% of the total wealth, while 71% of the wealth is held by this minuscule population.

The report aims to quantify the "structured inequalities" and "personal and community distress or suffering" in the tech hub.
