BlackDemographics.com was created in 2007 to be the top resource for information regarding African Americans. It was meant to be a one stop unbiased site that showcases only the facts where people can see what Black America looks like without having to spend hours searching the Internet.
For 10 years Black Demographics has worked hard to become a trusted resource. This is why it has consistently remained a top source for major news media, universities, governments, academics, books, blogs, and individuals. Basically it serves all of who seek Information, statistics, and reliable insight about the African American population.
As a company our expanded focus is to significantly increase the amount of data we research, illustrate, and customize to better provide for the needs of all businesses, governments, media outlets, organizations, and individuals whose interest is to serve, discuss ideas, and benefit the African American community
