12.5% of the US Population is Hispanic
Post a Comment | View Comments (3)

Hispanics represent 12.5% or more of the US population today according to the US Census Bureau, surpassing that of African Americans. They represent a major marketplace because their population is younger than average, 25 years comparing to 35 of non-Hispanics. Personally, I think that the real number is bigger and that means that this group is becoming mainstream, they have necessities, and new products can be created or adjusted for them.

A lot of US brands have equities that are strong and very American & mainstream, almost the direct opposite of the more simplistic Latino/Hispanic designs. To adjust these products to appeal to a Latino/Hispanic audience is a pretty tall task. Do you think it is possible to adjust all of them?

Yes I agree that Hispanic Americans are growing at a extremly fast rate in the United States. Recently, NBC or one of the major news networks, noted that Hispanic Americans account for 17% of the US population (give or take a few) and that African American's account for 16.8% (give or take a few).

Nowadays I think it really is around 30%, including people that are not accounted for.
