Puerto Rican community

The Puerto Rican community consists of people from Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory in the Caribbean, as well as those of Puerto Rican descent living in the mainland United States.

This community contributes significantly to the social, economic, and cultural diversity of their regions, maintaining traditions like music, food, and festivals while also integrating into wider American society.
