Common Questions Asked by the Hispanic/Latino Community
Many Latino communities may find multiple toolkits useful in developing their outreach plan. Listed below are highlights from Latino toolkit overviews that provide at-a-glance information and answers to common questions. Each toolkit provides a unique perspective because they were designed using in-depth marketing research conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau.
