Special offer: now 20% off original full report price
Since the Great Recession, U.S. household wealth has grown robustly. Packaged Facts estimates that total U.S. household wealth in 2019 is up 49%since 2010. Compared to 2010, African American household wealth is expected to be up 70% in 2019. Yet that’s only part of the picture.
There exists opportunity and need for financial institutions to connect with African American consumers on deeper levels. In this new market research report, Packaged Facts examines how banks, creditors, and lenders can market to and build relationships with an important consumer demographic that historically has been too often overlooked by financial institutions.
Primary research includes national online consumer surveys of U.S. adults (age 18+) that Packaged Facts conducts on a regular basis to measure consumer purchasing patterns and attitudes for various products and services. These proprietary Packaged Facts surveys have a sample size of approximately 2,000, screened for response quality, and representative of the U.S. population on the demographic measures of age, gender, geographic region, race/ethnicity, household income, and the presence/absence of children in the household.
Packaged Facts’ consumer analysis also draws on national consumer survey data licensed by Simmons Research LLC. On a quarterly basis, Simmons releases 12-month aggregations of booklet-based survey results from a large and random sample (approximately 25,000 for each quarterly release) that accurately represents the U.S. population. This database allows for historical trending and detailed consumer profiles across various demographic and psychographic measures as well as product and service categories. Results from the 12-month Summer 2009-2018 surveys are analyzed.
