Puerto Rico, freely associated commonwealth of the United States, composed of one large island and several small islands. Officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Spanish Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico), Puerto Rico is bordered on the north by the Atlantic Ocean, on the east by the Virgin Passage (which separates it from the Virgin Islands), on the south by the Caribbean Sea, and on the west by the Mona Passage (which separates it from the Dominican Republic). San Juan is the capital of Puerto Rico, as well as its largest city. Puerto Rico is one of the larger islands of the West Indies, and the commonwealth also includes several small islands, such as Culebra, Mona, and Vieques. It is located 1,600 km (1,000 mi) southeast of Florida and is almost twice as far from the mainland of North America as it is from South America. Puerto Rico is roughly rectangular in shape; its greatest east to west distance is 180 km (110 mi), and its extreme north to south distance is 65 km (40 mi). According to the 2000 census, Puerto Rico had 3,808,610 inhabitants, an increase of about 8.1 percent over the 1990 figure of 3,522,037. The population estimate for 2001 was 3,937,316. The average population density in 2001 was 439 persons per sq km (1,138 per sq mi), a higher density than for any state. People of Hispanic background are 98.8 percent of Puerto Rico's inhabitants; Spanish is the official language of the commonwealth. The largest communities in Puerto Rico included San Juan, the capital; Bayaman; Carolina; Ponce; Caguas; and Mayagaez.
