In 1960 some 900,000 Puerto Ricans lived in the United Stutes including not only those born on the island but also those born to Puerto Rican parents in the states. Until 1940, the vuerto Ricsn community in the United States numbered only 70,000, but by 1950 this had risen to 226,000, and over the decade to 1960, ti e net gain due to migration from the island amounted to nearly 390,000. The census of 1950 began the recording of second generation Puerto Ricans (those born on the continent to island born parents) and counted 75,000; in I960, t^e figure stood at 272,000, so that by 1960 three out of every ten Puerto Rican residents in the United States were born in the states® Although there has been a disperse of the migration outside greater New York City, the overwhelming number of Puerto Ricans are New Yorkers; the 1960 census showed 612,574 living in Ne\v York City (68.6 per cent of the United Stater, total)
