Hispanic Market Phoenix Tucson and Denver
An analysis of census data released last week shows the white non-Hispanic population in another three of America's 50 largest cities has become a minority. In Phoenix, Tucson and Denver, the white population has recently fallen below 50 percent, says William H. Frey, a demographer with the Brookings Institution.
Arizona has 35,000 Hispanic-owned businesses, adding that the Hispanic population in the state of Arizona has $26 billion in buying power. The local white population, he said, has benefited from a Hispanic-driven boost to the economy.
The demographic shift has social as well as economic consequences. Schools have to cope with more children who don't natively speak English, and politicians have to accept that their constituencies have changed.
The policymakers in Phoenix, Tucson and Denver could soon face issues similar to California's. Frey gave the example of Orange County, Calif.
In 1996, after the population had become half-Hispanic, Republican Robert K. Dornan was nudged out of the House seat he had held for 12 years by Democrat Loretta Sanchez.
"I think the people are drifting towards those communities that are more receptive to families, more receptive to diversity, and don't have populations that all fit into a box."
