Puerto Ricans in the United States

The Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center, today released a statistical profile of the Puerto Rican population in the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. The profile describes the demographic, employment and income characteristics of Hispanics of Puerto Rican origin. The characteristics of Puerto Ricans are contrasted with the characteristics of all Hispanics and the U.S. population overall. The profile is based on the Center's tabulations of the Census Bureau's 2007American Community Survey (ACS). 
 
The statistical profile is available at the Pew Hispanic Center's website, 
www.pewhispanic.org.

The Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center, is a nonpartisan,  non-advocacy research organization based in Washington, D.C. and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts.

Note: The Pew Hispanic Center just issued a factsheet with 2007 statistics on the Stateside Puerto Rican population, showing, among other things, that it is now larger than the Puerto Rican population in Puerto Rico. This is a development first documented by NiLP starting in 2003 in the report, "Atlas of Stateside Puerto Ricans" (2004).
