Report Shows a Shifting African American Population

A new report, commissioned by BET and based on U.S. Census Bureau data, shows that Black Americans are both more well-off and more suburban than previously thought.

Overall, the report, entitled "African Americans in 2010," finds that the Black population is growing 34 percent faster than the population as a whole. When the U.S. Census tallies its 2010 numbers, demographers expect it will show that there are about 50 million Hispanics in the U.S. and around 42 million African Americans. But though there are fewer African Americans, the population is changing in ways that make such consumers more attractive to marketers, namely:

• African Americans are nearly six years younger than all consumers; 47 percent are between 18 and 49 years old, which is considered the top-spending age demo by marketers.
  
• Black households making $75,000+ have increased 47 percent in the last five years - 1.5 times faster than the general population.
  
• If current trends continue, by 2015 more than half of all Black Americans will live in the suburbs.
  
• Although their population is smaller, there are more African American households in the U.S. than Hispanic households because the latter tend to have larger families.
  
• 42 percent of Black adults have never married compared to 26 percent of all adults. This trend is increasing among younger age groups.

 

I wish that the realblackdude and all the other BHM trolls would see that and debunk their fringe ideas.

 

None of these things mean a damn thing if we don't improve on education, income attainment, life expectancy and entrepreneurship. Those are the keys to being a vibrant ethnic group, fuck the bullshit.
