north american mainland
the south is home to 1.3 million puerto ricans, comprising 29% of the puerto rican population nationwide. florida is home to two-thirds of the puerto rican population in the south. florida is currently home to the fastest-growing puerto rican population of any state. cubans and puerto ricans are florida's largest hispanic groups, though unlike the cuban community which is nearly entirely located in the south florida and tampa bay areas, the puerto rican population is far more spread-out and is present in large numbers in central florida, south florida, and north florida, having large populations in the metro areas of orlando, tampa, miami, and jacksonville, among other cities. south florida has a large puerto rican population centered around the miami metro area, yet are largely overlooked by cuban dominance and the overall diversity of the miami area, with large numbers in miami, hollywood, west palm beach, homestead, north miami, boynton beach, coconut creek, and port st. lucie. the westcoast of florida has significant puerto rican populations present in scattered areas, in cities such as, tampa, st. petersburg, pinellas park, lakeland, cape coral, lehigh acres, and fort myers. central florida has the largest puerto rican population of any region in the state and the fastest-growing puerto rican population in the country. the orlando metropolitan area is the center of the puerto rican population in central florida and there is large populations of puerto ricans throughout the region, with the largest populations in orlando, kissimmee, poinciana, buenaventura lakes, azalea park, meadow woods, pine hills, deltona, st. cloud, sanford, apopka, alafaya, oak ridge, oviedo, daytona beach, and palm bay. osceola county is the only county in the country where puerto ricans are the largest ancestral group. puerto ricans are also the vast majority of hispanics in volusia county. the i-4 corridor, extending from daytona beach to tampa, is home to 500,000 puerto ricans. the i-4 corridor is politically considered the swing section of the state, yet puerto rican growth has created a democratic registration advantage. puerto rican growth in central florida has also had a direct impact on the uninterrupted influence cubans once had. in north florida, there are significant puerto rican populations in jacksonville, orange park, ocala, tallahassee, and gainesville. though, the most notable growth in north florida has been in clay county and the jacksonville area. though, the puerto rican population may not be as large as other parts of florida, especially central florida, puerto ricans often make up the majority of hispanics in many north florida cities, due to lower percentages of hispanics in north florida.
