Why Recycling Our Dollar Matters
Imagine this: every dollar we spend in our community doesn't just go to work, it multiplies. That’s the promise of the local economic multiplier, and evidence shows it can unlock generational wealth, empower businesses, and uplift our entire community.
The Magic of the Local Multiplier
- Studies reveal that every $1 spent locally can generate an additional $2–$6 of economic activity within the community. That’s a multiplier effect of up to 7×.
- Independent local businesses recirculate 48% of revenue locally compared to just 14% at chain stores.
- On average, 67¢ of each local dollar stays within the neighborhood, versus only 43¢ when spent at a big chain.
Bottom line: Buying local is like planting seeds. The harvest comes back to us in jobs, stronger ties, and services we trust.
Generational Wealth: Building a Legacy
Generational wealth provides future generations a foundation, whether via real estate, investments, or thriving family businesses .
- In the U.S., the upcoming “Great Wealth Transfer” will shift an estimated $84 trillion across generations by 2045 en.wikipedia.org+1themtnear.com+1.
- Yet, communities of color, despite growing purchasing power, often circulate wealth more slowly. For instance, in Middle Eastern communities, a dollar circulates just once, while in Asian or White communities, it moves through the local economy multiple times amiba.net+2gogreenwood.com+2detroitmi.gov+2.
When we strengthen dollar recirculation, we’re strengthening our wealth pipelines for decades to come.
Empowering Local Businesses = A Stronger Community
Every thriving local business is a pillar:
- It fuels job growth, provides culturally relevant services, and helps shape the identity of our neighborhoods stlouisfed.org+11newslj.com+11levelman.com+11.
- Business owners reinvest in their community, whether through hiring, local purchasing, or giving, creating a ripple effect of opportunity.
Stronger Communities, Stronger Lives
Local spending doesn’t just build wealth; it builds:
- Better community centers
- Enhanced social cohesion and morale
- Cultural vibrancy and shared identity
