As of 2010, Puerto Ricans remained the second-largest national subgroup among all Latinos in the U.S., at 9.2 percent. In 2011 Puerto Ricans were the largest national subgroup among all Latinos in New York State, at 31.6 percent, and comprised 30.8 percent of the total Latino population of New York City (U.S. Census Bureau, 2011). However, Puerto Ricans only made up 26 percent of Latino youth (ages 16 through 24) in New York City with Dominican youth having eclipsed them, at 29 percent (Treschan, 2010).
