  • A Puerto Rican is a person who was born in Puerto Rico. Puerto Ricans born and raised in the continental United States are also sometimes referred to as Puerto Ricans, although they were not born in Puerto Rico. Since 2007, the government of Puerto Rico has been granting Certificates of Puerto Rican citizenship to any persons born on the island as well as to those born outside of the island that have at least one parent who was born on the island. Puerto Ricans, who also commonly refer to themselves as "boricuas", are largely the descendants of Europeans, Taíno, Africans or a blend of these groups which has produced a very diversified population. The population of Puerto Ricans and descendants is estimated to be between 8 to 10 million worldwide, with most living within the islands of Puerto Rico, Central Florida, Chicago Metropolitan Area and in New York City, where there is a large Nuyorican community. For 2009, the American Community Survey estimates give a total of 3,859,026 Puerto Ricans classified as "Native" Puerto Ricans. It also gives a total of 3,644,515 (91.9%) of the population being born in Puerto Rico and 201,310 (5.1%) born in the United States. The total population born outside Puerto Rico is 322,773 (8.1%). Of the 108,262 who were foreign born outside the United States (2.7% of Puerto Rico), 3.8% were born in Europe, 92.9% in Latin America, 2.7% in Asia, 0.2% in Northern America, and 0.1% in Africa and Oceania each.
