Six things most plans get wrong

A taste of the report. The full version has every number, every chart, and the methodology behind each one.

Bigger than you think

Latinos are 19.3% of the DMV and on track for 1 in 4 by 2035. The market of 2035 is in a DMV classroom right now.

53%

Latinos drove the growth

More than half of the region's growth since 2019 was Latino. DC lost population overall — and kept growing in exactly one group.

30%

Not the market you assume

The DMV is Salvadoran-led and half foreign-born. The national, Mexican-majority playbook misses this audience.

~4%

The money is here — attention isn't

$30B in buying power, but Hispanic-aimed ad spend has barely moved in 25 years. The gap is the opportunity.

6

One label, six audiences

Six jurisdictions, six distinct personas — different origins, incomes, and languages. The average is wrong six times at once.

4 / 5

Bilingual is the mainstream

Four in five live in Spanish or both. And the frictions — credit, education, health — are exactly where a brand can lead.
