Dear New Yorkers,
Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! It’s Sadye (Chief Equity Officer and Salvadoreña) and Josh (Equity Coordinator and Boricua).

The diversity in the Latine Community in New York City and around the world is striking and expansive. We cut across languages, cultures, continents, racial and gender identities. It's what makes Latinidad so wonderful.
Today we are proud to release our new Latine Fact Sheet [[link removed]] to share some statistics and information about the Latine Population in New York State and New York City.
For this fact sheet, we have chosen to use the term "Latine" because it represents evolving language that more accurately reflects the range of backgrounds and gender identities encompassed by the diverse and sprawling Latine Diaspora.
In creating this fact sheet [[link removed]] , a few things jumped out at us:
*
When
people
say,
“Education
is
the
key,”
the
data
on
household
net
worth
by
education
level
couldn't
illustrate
this
correlation
more.
Latine
individuals
with
a
bachelor's
degree
have
a
significantly
higher
median
household
net
worth
of
$78,986
compared
to
those
with
a
high
school
diploma
which
is
just
over
$6,000.
*
Latine
individuals
make
up
32.4%
of
the
total
population
with
disabilities
in
NYC
and
emphasizes
the
need
for
policies
that
address
the
unique
needs
of
this
population.
*
People
who
identify
as
Latine
comprise
22%
of
the
NYC
government
workforce.
Their
presence
brings
diverse
perspectives,
skills,
and
experiences
to
the
workforce,
ultimately
enriching
the
city's
ability
to
serve
its
residents
effectively
and
inclusively.
This
showcases
the
significant
impact
Latines
have
in
shaping
and
supporting
the
functions
of
NYC's
government
and
public
services.
This Hispanic Heritage month, we hope you will join us in celebrating a beautiful mosaic of people – multi-racial, multi-ethnic, and hailing from all across the world – and in working towards a more inclusive and prosperous New York City. One where each of us is seen, honored and celebrated this month, and beyond!
Yours in service,
- Two Latine New Yorkers
