Orlando has the largest Puerto Rican and fastest-growing population in Florida with a cultural impact similar to that of Cuban Americans in South Florida. The Hispanic population of the city has grown dramatically in the last few decades from just 4% in 1980 to 25% in 2010.

What is a Peer? Put simply, a peer is a person we identify with in some capacity. This can include anything from age to gender to sexual orientation to shared language.

In that narrow context two people living with those conditions are peers, but in reality most people are far more specific about whom they would rely on for peer support.
