Over the past several months, a mountain of data from the latest U.S. Census has been gradually released to the public. While many news headlines about the 2010 Census have focused on population shifts and political implications—debates over where to redraw lines for voting districts—the message to real estate agents is loud and clear: the face of America is changing.
Any business that wants to position itself for long-term growth needs to sit up and take note. Tomorrow’s home buyers will not resemble today’s. Increasingly, the U.S. is becoming a multicultural nation, with recent waves of immigration playing a major role in reshaping communities.
