The median age of African Americans is 30, nearly six years younger than the median age of the total population.

The Black Pages directories nationally penetrate these top DMA markets with a circulation readership of over 1.5 million allowing advertisers to target African American consumers and businesses most efficiently. Combined, Black Pages directories are among the top publications reaching the African-American community.


African Americans spend over $930 billion annually, growing to 1.14 Trillion in 2015. There are 12.9 million African-American households in the U.S. African-American households are larger than the average of the total population. The average size of each African-American household is 3.4 people compared to the U.S. average of 2.5 people. An average household spends $36,149 annually.


African Americans are an active consumer market. African Americans most often shop for pleasure. In fact for most people, shopping trips are regular social outings with their peers. This behavior increases the breadth of potential customers that can be generated by word-of-mouth and referrals.
