Statistically-speaking, Puerto Rico is poorer than the Dominican Republic. Even with the help of the US, Puerto Rico maintains a 45% poverty rate, which is a bit higher than the DR's 42%. Now just give Puerto Rico it's independence and it'll quickly turn into Haiti, and they'll be swimming to their neighbors like they did in the early 1900's.
