Stateside Puerto Ricans^[3]^[4] (Spanish: Puertorriqueños en Estados Unidos), also ambiguously known as Puerto Rican Americans (Spanish: puertorriqueño-americanos,^[5]^[6] puertorriqueño-estadounidenses),^[7]^[8] or Puerto Ricans in the United States, are Puerto Ricans who are in the United States proper of the 50 states and the District of Columbia who were born in or trace any family ancestry to the unincorporated US territory of Puerto Rico.^[9]^[10]

As Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, all Puerto Ricans living on both the island and stateside have US citizenship. At 9.3% of the Hispanic population in the United States, Puerto Ricans are the largest Hispanic group nationwide, after Mexicans and are 1.78% of the entire population of the United States.^[1] 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.^[11] While the 2020 Census counted the number of Puerto Ricans living in the States at 5.6 million, estimates in 2022 show the Puerto Rican population to be 5.91 million.^[1]^[12]^[13]

Despite newer migration trends, the New York metropolitan area continues to be 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. A large portion of the Puerto Rican population in the United States proper resides in the Northeast and Florida.
