Stateside Puerto Ricans[4][5] (Spanish: Puertorriqueños en Estados Unidos), also known as Puerto Rican Americans (Spanish: puertorriqueños americanos,[6][7] puertorriqueños estadounidenses),[8][9] or Puerto Ricans in the United States, are Puerto Ricans who reside in the mainland United States.[10][11]
Pursuant to the Jones–Shafroth Act, all Puerto Ricans born on the island have US citizenship. At 9.3% of the Hispanic population in the United States, Puerto Ricans are the second largest Hispanic group nationwide after Mexicans, and are 1.78% of the entire population of the United States.[2] Stateside Puerto Ricans are also the largest Caribbean-origin group in the country, representing over one-third of people with origins in the geographic Caribbean region.[12] The 2020 Census counted the number of Puerto Ricans living in the States at 5.6 million, and estimates in 2022 show the Puerto Rican population to be 5.91 million.[2][13][14]
The New York area is the largest demographic and cultural center for Puerto Ricans in the mainland United States, with the Orlando metropolitan area having the second-largest community. The portmanteau "Nuyorican" refers to Puerto Ricans and their descendants in the New York City area. About 67% of the Puerto Rican population in the contiguous United States resides in either the Northeast or Florida.
