Puerto Ricans number twice as many in the mainland USA as in their own land. Urbanization and unemployment in Puerto Rico crowd the cities and fuel emigration but leave rural areas fairly empty. But the traditional stereotype of a US Puerto Rican - that of a ghetto-dweller in New York City - paints an outdated picture. There are now large and growing communities in Florida, New England, the tri-state area, Chicago and elsewhere, and they span the entire economic spectrum.
- Pray for those ministering to Puerto Ricans living in the USA.
