What the data says about immigrants in the U.S. [US Hispanic Markets HOTBED for 2022 immigrantion]

In 2022, more than 29 million immigrants – 63% of the nation’s foreign-born population – lived in just 20 major metropolitan areas. The largest populations were in the New York, Los Angeles and Miami metro areas. Most of the nation’s unauthorized immigrant population (60%) lived in these metro areas as well.

South American Immigrants in the United States

South American immigration to the United States has been on the rise, growing three times as fast as overall U.S. immigration from 2000 to 2022, although the nearly 4 million South Americans comprised just 9 percent of all 46.2 million U.S.-based immigrants as of 2022. South Americans first began immigrating to the United States during the Cold War era, when countries such as Argentina, Chile, and Colombia experienced political upheaval, armed conflict, and economic instability. Since then, immigration from the region has continued to be driven by a mix of political, social, and economic crises, exemplified by a massive exodus of Venezuelans since conditions in their country began deteriorating in 2015.

The Re-Birth of the Spanish Dominant Hispanic Consumer in The US

Interesting title, since we are being challenges every year by sources that state that the Spanish Dominant Hispanic Consumer is not growing, and that mainstream and digital media are imposing attrition to our US Hispanic Spanish Dominant media that serve the US Hispanic Consumer. I have yet to hear our media companies, our ad agencies and other sources bringing forth the notion of what has happened in the last four years to the growth of the US Hispanic Market due to recent immigration patterns. In 2010 there were 50.2 Million Hispanic in the US. In on decade, the 2020 Census detailed the that US Hispanic population grew by 11.9 Million or + 24%. In just four years since the 2020 Census, the possibility that the US Hispanic Consumer base grew by 10-12 Million is in the realm of possibility or by a 19%, due to recent immigrant growth. I am not here to discuss the political issue surrounding the influx of immigrants into the US, but I am here to highlight:

  • Our Hispanic Consumer base could have a growth of +15-20 Million in 4 years and projected out to average growth over 10 years in the 2030 Census could reach +30% or 80-85 Million US Hispanic Consumers. That’s clout.
  • Close to 100% of the US Hispanic Consumer Base growth is Spanish Dominant Hispanics in the last 4 years.
  • Hispanic TV, Radio and other media are going to enjoy a real bonanza of new viewers, listeners and readers
  • With this growth, the hierarchy of US Hispanic Market and their relationship to mainstream markets will be impacted dramatically, since a good portions of this new immigrant consumers group is congregating in the largest US Hispanic Markets in the US.
  • The Hispanic composition of our top markets will grow. LA, NY, Miami, Chicago, Dallas, etc have become much larger and important markets, due to US Hispanic Consumers.
  • The Hispanic composition of markets besides the Top 5 will grow and change not only the US Hispanic Market ranking but re-organize mainstream markets into a new ranking order.
  • The US Hispanic Market is leading the growth opportunity in the US.
These are exciting times for our industry. We need not only a much need shot in the arm to grow our business, but also a swift kick in the ass to create better strategic sales initiatives, better communication and marketing initiatives to impact budgets to get companies to redirect ad dollars or get involved in marketing to US Hispanics. This will reinforce the need for marketers to hire experts to persuade, communicate and engage US Hispanic Consumers.
