Hispanic Lifestyle Update | Episode 7 – February 28, 2025
In this edition of Hispanic Lifestyle Update, we share insights on Marriage, Afro-Latinos and the San Diego Latino Film Festival.
SPOTLIGHT | Married Couples vs. Singles in Hispanic Communities
Marriage in Latino cultures is more than just a legal or romantic bond; it is a sacred union celebrated with deep cultural significance.
- As of 2021, approximately 46% of U.S. Hispanic adults aged 18 and older are married (Pew Research Center).
- This reflects a notable decline over the past few decades; from 1990 to 2024, marriage rates among Hispanic men decreased by 10.3 percentage points, and among Hispanic women by 11.3 percentage points (USA Facts).
- In 2023, the number of married Hispanic individuals in the United States included over 10.9 million males and about 10.26 million females (Statista).
- These figures suggest that while marriage remains important, evolving social dynamics have contributed to shifts in marital trends.

INSIGHTS | Black History Month (February 1 – March 1)
While Black History Month often focuses on African Americans, it is equally important to recognize the Afro-Latino community, whose unique cultural identity is shaped by both African and Latin American ancestry.
- According to a 2020 study (by the Pew Research Center) approximately 6 million U.S. adults identify as Afro-Latino, representing about 2% of the total U.S. population and 12% of the Latino population.
- Geographically, Afro-Latinos are most concentrated on the East Coast and in the Southern United States.
- where 65% of them reside.
- Identification is more common among Latinos with Caribbean ancestry, particularly those with roots in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Cuba.
- Among Caribbean Latinos, 34% identify as Afro-Latino, compared to 22% of those with ancestry from other parts of Latin America.
