Latino Real Estate Business - The boom-and-bust cycle in the U.S. housing market over the past decade and a half has generated greater gains and larger losses for minority groups than it has for whites, according to an analysis of housing, economic and demographic data by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center. From 1995 through the middle of this decade, homeownership rates rose more rapidly among all minorities than among whites. But since the start of the housing bust in 2005, rates have fallen more steeply for two of the nation's largest minority groups-blacks and native-born Latinos-than for the rest of the population.

Latino Internet Usage Surveys - Internet use among Latino adults rose by 10 percentage points, from 54% to 64% from 2006 to 2008. In comparison, the rates for whites rose four percentage points, and the rates for blacks rose only two percentage points during that time period. Though Latinos continue to lag behind whites, the gap in internet use has shrunk considerably.

Hispanics Online 2014 - Though Hispanic households have the lowest rate of Internet penetration in the US, the Internet is quickly becoming a mainstream medium for the group.

In 2014, eMarketer expects that 70% of the Hispanic population will be online, up from almost 60% in 2010. Thanks to a robust rate of growth within this general population, the online population will grow by nearly 10 million people between 2010 and 2014, to 39.2 million. As the results of the 2010 census are made public in early 2011, those figures may increase even more.
