Buying Power Share
For every $1 of buying power whites have, how much do minorities have?
Race/Ethnicity 1990 2000 2010 2018
Asian $0.81 $0.82 $0.88 $0.88
Black $0.51 $0.58 $0.60 $0.60
Hispanic $0.68 $0.50 $0.44 $0.43
Other $0.11 $0.30 $0.43 $0.48

in Georgia, the Hispanic population is growing more quickly, too. As
a result, per capita buying power for Hispanics is likely to
