Stateside Puerto Ricans or Puerto Ricans in the United States (Spanish: Puertorriqueños en Estados Unidos), also known as Puerto Rican Americans (Spanish: puertorriqueños estadounidenses, or puertorriqueños americanos), are Americans in the United States proper, namely the 50 states and Washington, D.C., who were born in or trace any ancestry to the archipelago and island of Puerto Rico, a US unincorporated territory and insular area whose people are US nationals since the Treaty of Paris of 1898 and statutory birthright US citizens since the Jones–Shafroth Act of 1917. The 2020 US Census counted the number of Puerto Ricans living in the United States proper at 5.6 million.
