Trends in Black Purchasing Power of Generation X

Purchasing power for Blacks both alone and in combination with other ethnicities (AOIC) increased faster than all races from 2005-2007, but started to lose that growth rate over 2007-08. The consumers who identified as polyethnic increased earnings faster at first but those slowed to even more sharply negative at the end of our period.

Most Profitable Product to Offer to Black Generation X

With a smaller share of total population and smaller per-unit incomes, the Black consumer group ranks third in our aggregate spending comparison, but they consume largely the same major purchase fields as all other consumers, particularly Housing, transportation and food, although they spend different shares of their incomes on these purchases than the other sectors. These are the "Big spender" categories for all ethnicities and origins, but we see for example, that Blacks spend much less of their income on food away from home for example, so targeting restaurant purchases to that segment instead of any other, would be a mistake.

Rental real estate, for another example, consumes a far larger share of Generation X Black incomes relative to owned shelter than it does for Hispanics, and double the share compared to owned homes for Whites. Targeting marketing for rental dwellings may have more return per capita for Blacks than for Whites, although the dominance of the aggregate size of the White expenditure for everything would make them the primary target if we measured return on a fixed advertising budget in overall dollar return on investment. Even though Blacks spend more of their income on rent than whites do, Whites still spend more in total at the bottom line.
