Population & Buying Power
With nearly one in every six Americans being of Hispanic or Latin origin, this population cannot be ignored.
Hispanic vs. Latinx
Hispanic and Latinx overlap in some ways, but actually mean different things. Hispanic refers to those who speak Spanish and who are descended from Spanish-speaking lineage. Latinx is a gender fluid term used as an alternative to Latino/a. It refers to people from or descended from Latin American countries.
