Puerto Ricans migrated in search of higher-wage jobs, first to New York City, and later to other cities such as Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston.[37] However, in more recent years, there has been a significant resurgence in migration from Puerto Rico to New York and New Jersey, with an apparently multifactorial allure to Puerto Ricans, primarily for economic and cultural considerations;[38][39] with the Puerto Rican population of the New York City Metropolitan Area increasing from 1,177,430 in 2010 to a Census-estimated 1,494,670 in 2016,[40] maintaining its status as the largest metropolitan concentration and cultural center for Puerto Rican Americans by a significant margin on Continental America. Puerto Rican culture is a blend of Spanish, TaĆ­no and West African cultures, with recent influences from the United States and neighboring Latin American and Caribbean countries. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1376.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1376.txt
