There are approximately 9 million people of Puerto Rican descent. Out of this number, roughly 45% live on the island itself. The rest have scattered as a result of the diaspora between 1920-1990. The communities with the largest numbers of Puerto Ricans in the US are New York, Hartford, Holyoak, Philadelphia, Chicago, New Jersey, Virginia, San Francisco, and Orlando.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau of 2006, 81% of Puerto Ricans over 5 years old that live in the island speak English "less than very well." Basically that means that most people don't speak it very well. However, many young people (under 30) speak it, even if not perfect.
