The Demographic and Socio-Economic Landscape of Puerto Rico

Dear Friends,

In collaboration with Anonymous Media Group and The Dirty Dozen Dispatch, in special report Pre-SuperBowl Sunday we present:

CULTURE IN CRISIS:

Puerto Rico’s social fabric is complex:

  • Population: Approximately 3.2 million residents, with a significant diaspora of over 5 million worldwide, mostly in the U.S.

  • Income: The median household income in Puerto Rico is around $20,000, about half of the U.S. national average. The island faces a persistent unemployment rate averaging 10-15%, far above the U.S. average, compounded by a declining population due to emigration—about 10% of the population has left over the last decade.

  • Poverty: Over 43% of Puerto Ricans live below the poverty line—a rate more than three times higher than that of the U.S. as a whole—and many struggle with access to quality healthcare, education, and basic services.
