La diáspora puertorriqueña en los Estados Unidos: una década de expansión y transformación (2014–2024) Entre 2014 y 2024, la población que se identificó como puertorriqueña residente en los Estados Unidos y el Distrito de Columbia aumentó. En conjunto, el total estimado pasó de 5,266,738 en 2014 a 6,110,356 en 2024, representando un incremento de 843,618 personas o un 16.0% de crecimiento en una década. El aumento confirma la expansión de la diáspora puertorriqueña y refleja tanto la emigración desde Puerto Rico, así como el crecimiento de las generaciones nacidas en los Estados Unidos. La puertorriqueñidad está presente en todas las jurisdicciones de EE. UU., aunque su distribución es desigual. En el 2014, cuatro estados concentraban más de la mitad de las personas que se identificaban como puertorriqueñas Principales estados con población puertorriqueña, Estados Unidos: 2014 Estado Estimado Por ciento del Total Nueva York 1,095,858 20.8% Florida 1,006,542 19.1% Nueva Jersey 468,200 8.9% Pennsylvania 423,755 8.0% Los cuatro estados en la tabla agrupan aproximadamente 56.8% de la población puertorriqueña en los estados. El estado de Nueva York fue el que albergó el mayor número de personas que se identificaron como puertorriqueñas en el 2014, seguido de Florida, Nueva Jersey y Pennsylvania. Una década más tarde, 2024, el panorama cambió, los principales estados continuaban, sin embargo hubo algunos cambios en la posición respecto a la cantidad puertorriqueños residiendo en estos. Principales estados con población puertorriqueña, Estados Unidos: 2024 Estimado Por ciento del Total Florida 1,302,970 21.3% Nueva York 1,001,051 16.4% Pennsylvania 492,463 8.1% Nueva Jersey 484,119 7.9% El estado de la Florida desplazó a Nueva York como el estado con mayor número de personas que se identificaron como puertorriqueñas. De hecho, Nueva York perdió población puertorriqueña mientras que Florida ganó población. Por su parte, Pennsylvania desplazó a Nueva Jersey de la tercera posición, ambos estados ganaron población durante la pasada década. Los estados que, en números absolutos, aumentaron población fueron: Florida (296,428), Texas (81,123), Pennsylvania (68,708) ,Carolina del Norte (61,314) y Ohio (45,479). Por otro lado, los estados que perdieron población puertorriqueña fueron: Nueva York (-94,807), Illinois(-29,701), Hawaii (-3,608), Nuevo México (-2,737) Alaska (-1,566). En términos porcentuales, entre 2014 y 2024, la población que se identifica como puertorriqueña aumentó considerablemente en varios estados de Estados Unidos. En Iowa, pasó de 5,429 personas en 2014 a 17,791 en 2024, un incremento del 227.7 %. En Utah, la población creció de 6,880 a 16,475, equivalente a un 139.5 %. En Dakota del Norte, el número de personas puertorriqueñas se duplicó, al pasar de 1,584 a 3,278 (106.9 %). En Carolina del Sur, la cifra casi se duplicó, aumentando de 32,188 a 64,122 (99.2 %). Finalmente, en el Distrito de Columbia, la población puertorriqueña creció de 3,968 a 7,621, un aumento del 92.1 %. Al revisar los cambios absolutos y porcentuales del 2014 al 2024, algunos estados experimentaron una disminución notable en la población que se identifica como puertorriqueña. En Nuevo México, la cifra descendió de 10,194 personas en 2014 a 7,457 en 2024, una reducción del 26.9 %. Por su parte, en Alaska la población pasó de 7,034 a 5,468, lo que representa una caída del 22.3 %. En Idaho, se redujo de 4,461 a 3,528 (−20.9 %), mientras que en Montana bajó de 2,278 a 1,873 (−17.8 %). Finalmente, en Illinois, uno de los estados con mayor presencia histórica de puertorriqueños, la población disminuyó de 211,626 a 181,925, una contracción del 14.0 %. Entre 2014 y 2024, la población puertorriqueña en Estados Unidos creció y se redistribuyó geográficamente. El eje de la puertorriqueñidad en los Estados Unidos se desplazó del noreste industrial hacia el sur, marcando un nuevo capítulo en la historia migratoria de Puerto Rico.

The Department of Commerce will submit the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register on July 11, 2025, during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce. Title: Special Census Program. OMB Control Number: 0607-0368. Form Number(s): SC-Q, SC-Q(S), SC-CQ, SC-CQ(S), SC-Q-TL, SC-Q-TL(S), SC-CQ-TL, SC-CQ-TL(S), SC-Q-GE, SC-Q-GE(S), SC-RQ, SC-900 RCE, SC-50.1a, SC-693.2(ETL), SC-QE-ISR 1, SC-688(TLAC). Type of Request: Regular submission, Request for an Extension, without Change, of a Currently Approved Collection. Number of Respondents: 357,080. Average Hours per Response: Approximately 10 minutes for the Special Census data collection and 45 minutes for the Governmental Unit Cost Estimate Request form. Burden Hours: 59,560. Needs and Uses: A special census is an enumeration of population, housing units, group quarters, and transitory locations, conducted by the Census Bureau at the request of a governmental unit (GU). The special census questionnaires will collect the same information that was gathered during the 2020 Census. Title 13, United States Code, Section 196 authorizes the Census Bureau to conduct special censuses on a cost reimbursable basis for the government of any state, county, city, or other political subdivision within a state. This includes the District of Columbia, American Indian Reservations, Alaskan Native villages, Puerto Rico, the Island Areas ( e.g., American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), and other GUs that require current population data between decennial censuses. Local officials frequently request a special census when there has been a significant population change in their community because of annexation, growth, or the addition of new group quarters facilities. Communities may also consider a special census if there was a significant number of vacant housing units during the previous decennial census that are now occupied. A full special census is a basic enumeration of population, housing units, and group quarters for the entire area within the jurisdiction of a local GU. A partial special census is conducted using the same methodologies and procedures as a regular or full special census, but it is for an area or section within the jurisdiction of the local GU. For example, GUs may choose to conduct a partial special census for just those areas that might have experienced a ( printed page 52618) large population growth or a boundary change. Many states use special census population statistics to determine the distribution of state funds to local jurisdictions. The local jurisdictions may also use the data to plan new schools, transportation systems, housing programs, or water treatment facilities. GUs that request a special census will receive the data files containing housing unit and population counts by email when data processing and disclosure avoidance have been completed for the special census. The data will also be posted at data.census.gov for public use. These data will not be used to update official 2020 Census data products and apportionment counts, but they may be used to update data in the Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program. The Special Census Program accepts requests for cost estimates from GUs with the Request for Cost Estimate form (SC-900 RCE), which is available on the Census Bureau website. There is no fee to submit a request form. Once this form has been reviewed by the Census Bureau, the GU and the Census Bureau coordinate to identify the exact geographic boundaries for the special census. Then the Special Census Program coordinates with participating divisions within the Census Bureau and regional offices to determine a cost estimate and timeline for the special census and presents them to the GU. The cost of a special census varies depending on the GU's housing and population counts and whether a government requests a full or partial special census. The cost estimate outlines the anticipated costs to the sponsoring government for staffing, materials, data processing and tabulation. Included with the cost estimate is a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). Once a signed MOA and initial payment are transmitted to the Census Bureau, the special census process will begin. When data collection, processing, disclosure avoidance, and tabulation have been completed, the GU will receive official census statistics on the population and housing unit counts for the entire jurisdiction or parts of the jurisdiction, as defined in the MOA at the beginning of the special census process. All special census statistics will be subject to disclosure avoidance using differential privacy methods, consistent with the processes and methods used for 2020 Census data products, prior to their release to the public. Requests for cost estimates from GUs will be accepted through May 2027. The Census Bureau uses an internet self-response instrument for respondents to respond online to the questionnaire. At the start of the special census, the Census Bureau will send an invitation letter to housing units in the GU's special census area with information needed to respond online. Respondents will have a number of weeks to respond to the questionnaire using the internet self-response instrument. Reminder letters and postcards will be sent to each housing unit to encourage self-response and provide information needed to do so. Approximately 2 weeks after the end of the Special Census self-response period, the Census Bureau will conduct follow-up operations in the field to enumerate housing units that did not respond using the internet self-response instrument. Housing units that do not respond online will be contacted by a field representative who will conduct an interview using a paper questionnaire. Additionally, nonresponding housing units may be contacted by telephone for their response. The field operations will also enumerate group quarters and transitory locations in the GU's special census area. The Census Bureau uses a paper questionnaire to conduct interviews at transitory locations and group quarters. During the field operations, field representatives also update the addresses of living quarters as needed, based on their observation of housing units, transitory locations, and group quarters. Several quality assurance measures are implemented for each special census to ensure that high-quality data are gathered using the most efficient and cost-effective procedures. These include edits incorporated into the online questionnaire and the ability to validate potentially erroneous responses in the field. Independent quality assurance checks and reinterview of a sample of field questionnaires will also be implemented to ensure the quality of the data collected in the field. At this time, the Special Census Program does not plan on implementing additional automated tools and methods for data collection. If anything changes in the future, a revision or a non-substantive change can be submitted at that time. To make it easier for commenters to identify all questionnaires and other collection instruments, this 30-day Federal Register Notice includes several form numbers that were omitted from the 60-day Federal Register Notice.

Each year, the U.S. Census Bureau produces population estimates at the state, county, and city/town level. These population estimates are used for federal funding allocations, as controls for major surveys, for community development, and as denominators for calculating statistical rates, among other uses. More information about the methodology used by the Census Bureau to produce these estimates can be found at the Census website. With each Census release, PEP produces a summary report on the estimates for Massachusetts. These reports extract the data for Massachusetts from the Census release and provide context about population trends for researchers and planners. The most recent PEP reports on population estimates for Massachusetts, its counties, and its cities/towns may be viewed by clicking the desired level of geography above or in the menu to the left. For additional U.S. Census data for Massachusetts, see the Massachusetts State Data Center.

This blog post expands on a previous blog post that examined housing cost burden across NC by focusing on the disparities between housing cost burden for homeowners and renters. In North Carolina, 66.8% of occupied housing units are owner-occupied, while 33.2% are renter occupied. According to Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies’ 2025 report, nationwide, […]

In recent years, housing has become a hot-button issue both nationwide and in our state, as many people struggle to find secure, affordable housing options. David Rouse, Ben Hitchings, and Anita Brown-Graham of the UNC School of Government’s ncIMPACT Initiative wrote that the three main factors contributing to the national housing crisis are affordability, availability, […]

How homes are heated shapes household budgets and impacts the environment. Like much of New England, Connecticut remains unusually reliant on oil for heating homes, a legacy shaped by cold winters, older housing stock, and historically limited gas pipeline infrastructure. That picture, however, is

In response to the federal data system going black in January of this year, we at CTData have been partnering with local organizations to bring people together across the state to share information about what we know about changes to federal and state data, and also to help folks connect locally around data and strategies they can use to best serve their region. On October 30, 2025, we partnered with Norwalk ACTS to bring this event to Norwalk. This post includes highlights from this session, but can’t do justice to the excellent presentations and conversations. Read this post to find many ways you can stay informed and take action!

Have you ever wanted to link external city-level data to CPS respondents but were stymied by the city coding system used by the CPS? With the release of two new variables (PLACECENSUS and PLACEFIPS), IPUMS CPS has simplified the task of making such linkages. The CPS identifies a limited number of sub-state geographic units (e.g., cities, counties) because of the complex assignment of CPS geographic identifiers (see working paper) and required minimum population thresholds. An additional layer of complexity is a custom coding scheme for central/principal cities (INDIVIDCC) that is unique to the CPS and, therefore, unfamiliar to most data users. IPUMS CPS has addressed this issue through the creation of two new variables – PLACECENSUS and PLACEFIPS – which provide standard codes for identifying central cities. These new variables will dramatically simplify the process of using IPUMS CPS to study specific cities, and will be particularly beneficial to those who want to augment the CPS data with city-level characteristics.
