2024 Hispanic Wealth Report
The 2024 State of Hispanic Wealth Report highlights key achievements and goals in Hispanic wealth-building. The Hispanic Wealth Project, established in response to significant losses in Hispanic household wealth after the Great Recession, set a goal to triple Hispanic household wealth by 2024, which was achieved two years early. The report focuses on four primary areas: homeownership, business ownership, financial asset growth, and asset protection. Hispanic homeownership rates have nearly reached 50%, and Hispanic-owned businesses are growing faster than others. However, financial challenges remain, especially in accessing capital and investment opportunities. Hispanic households still face a significant wealth gap with non-Hispanic White households, though this gap has closed proportionally by nearly half over the past decade. The report calls for increased representation of Hispanic professionals in real estate and finance and expanded access to financial education and tools, particularly for estate planning, to ensure wealth preservation and intergenerational transfer.

El Informe del Estado de la Riqueza Hispana 2024 destaca logros y metas clave en la construcción de riqueza para la comunidad hispana. El Proyecto de Riqueza Hispana, creado después de la Gran Recesión para enfrentar pérdidas significativas de patrimonio en los hogares hispanos, estableció como meta triplicar esta riqueza para 2024, alcanzando dicho objetivo dos años antes. El informe se centra en cuatro áreas: propiedad de vivienda, propiedad de negocios, crecimiento de activos financieros y protección de activos. Las tasas de propiedad de vivienda hispana están cerca del 50%, y los negocios hispanos están creciendo más rápido que otros. Sin embargo, persisten desafíos financieros, especialmente en acceso a capital y oportunidades de inversión. Los hogares hispanos aún enfrentan una brecha significativa de riqueza con los hogares blancos no hispanos, aunque esta brecha se ha reducido proporcionalmente casi a la mitad en la última década. El informe recomienda aumentar la representación de profesionales hispanos en bienes raíces y finanzas, y ampliar el acceso a la educación financiera, en especial en planificación patrimonial, para asegurar la preservación de la riqueza y su transferencia intergeneracional.
