Today I received a press release from the Census Bureau with the header, "Homes with Cell Phones Nearly Double in First Half of Decade." You can thank them for sending me down this rabbit trail... "Inquiring minds wanted to know" not only how HH cell phone ownership trended through time for Latinos, but hey, I could also find out how the % of ownership of other interesting (at least for me) consumer durables varied in recent times in Hispanic HHs, AND how they compared with the Jones' (non-Hispanic white HHs, that is). So after downloading a whole bunch of reports from the Census' site and playing around with the information for a while I came with some interesting graphs, which in the spirit of Thanksgiving (as in thanks for Juan's OCD), I want to share with you. You can download an excel file with all the raw data by clicking here. The numbers are quite revealing in regard to certain cultural nuances present within each of the groups, don't you think?
