A preview of what's inside

Six things most plans get wrong

A taste of the report. The full version has every number, every chart, and the methodology behind each one.

70%

Latinos drove the growth

About seven in ten of Greater Boston's 2019 to 2024 population gain was Latino: roughly 81,000 of the region's 115,000 new residents. Latino growth is the region's growth.

Caribbean

Not the market you assume

Greater Boston is Dominican- and Puerto-Rican-led (co-leaders near half), not Mexican-majority like the national profile. A different calendar, cuisine, music, and dialect.

572K

Bigger than the headline suggests

About 572,000 Latinos, 14.4% of the region, and 25.1% of Massachusetts K-12 students. The market of the 2030s is in a Greater Boston classroom right now.

6

One label, six city-markets

The market lives in the Gateway Cities, and each has a different lead origin: Lawrence Dominican, Chelsea Salvadoran, Revere Colombian. The average is wrong six times at once.

$15B

The money is here, attention isn't

$15B in Latino household income, more than doubled in a decade, and chronically under-addressed. The gap is the opportunity.

40%

Trust that leaves fingerprints

El Planeta Daily opens at about 40% (media kit) and clicks at a measured 11%. Community trust is the one advantage a competitor cannot simply outspend.

What you'll unlock

Inside the full report

A working briefing you can act on, not a slide deck. Every layer is sourced and labeled (Census-native vs. proxy vs. national-rate) so you can trust the numbers.

01

The region changed

Growth, the next decade, and why this is structural, not a moment.

02

A market of its own

A Caribbean-led profile, the eds-and-meds economy, and the income split.

03

What they share

Language, immigration history, rent burden, and trust, with a Caribbean twist.

04

The Gateway Cities

One label, distinct city-markets: who lives where, and each city's lead origin.

05

What actually works

The channels, the register, and El Planeta's measured community trust.

06

Methodology appendix

Every source, with Latino-native / proxy / national-rate labeling per layer.
