Puerto Rican Residents in the United States: Mainland Diaspora and Island Population (2024)
Puerto Rican-origin population in U.S. counties and total residents of Puerto Rico's municipios in 2024.
The first chart combines a mainland county map, a Puerto Rico inset, and a ranking of counties and municipios. The following maps look more closely at the northeastern U.S., Florida, and Puerto Rico.
Sources and methodology
The source is the U.S. Census Bureau's 2020–2024 American Community Survey five-year estimates, retrieved with tidycensus. For the 50 states and D.C., the chart counts people reporting Puerto Rican origin or descent (table B03001_005E). For Puerto Rico, it uses total resident population by municipio (table B01003_001E); these are different measures. Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico are repositioned and rescaled in the overview for visibility. The original Quarto analysis contains the map and ranking calculations.
