Reuters Jan 29, 2009
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Hispanics in the United States are the fastest-growing minority and their financial clout is expanding just as rapidly.
The National Football League, along with many other media and entertainment properties, has moved over the last several years to tap into that fan base to fuel its growth.
POPULATION GROWTH AND BUYING POWER:
* Hispanics comprised about 15 percent of the U.S. population in 2007, up from 9 percent in 1990. That is expected to rise to 16.5 percent in 2012.
* The increase in the U.S. Hispanic population from 2007 to 2012 will be 15.3 percent, compared with 4.7 percent in the overall U.S. population.
* In 2004, 34 percent of the U.S. Hispanic population was under the age of 18, compared with 22 percent for the non-Hispanic white population. Meanwhile, only 5.1 percent of the U.S. Hispanic population was older than 65, compared with 14.45 percent for non-Hispanic whites.
* The buying power of U.S. Hispanics is expected to rise from $212 billion in 1990 and $862 billion in 2007 to slightly over $1.2 trillion in 2012. That would represent an increase of 46.3 percent from 2007 to 2012, compared with 29.7 percent for the overall U.S. population.
* In 2012, Hispanics will likely account for 9.7 percent of all U.S. buying power, up from 5 percent in 1990 and 8.6 percent in 2007.
