Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month
As Hispanic homeownership rates continue to climb, several demographic and economic indicators demonstrate the likelihood of continued longevity for Latinos in advancing homeownership opportunities. Latinos are the youngest and second-largest racial or ethnic demographic in the country, driving both U.S. population and household formation growth, key precursors to homeownership. With the highest labor force participation rate for more than two decades, Latinos have consistently experienced rising incomes and educational attainment, two economic factors that contribute to homeownership readiness.Read the State of Hispanic Homeownership Report®️, a publication of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals®️ (NAHREP).
