A year after Maria, debates continue regarding how many are leaving and permanently staying stateside. Reports using various methods, such as FEMA aid applications, issuing of licenses, and matriculation of students, suggest that the number of people settling outside of Puerto Rico may be between 120,000 and 200,000, though some studies suggest that more than half of them may have returned to the island (Center for Puerto Rican Studies 2018; Sutter and Hernández 2018; Echenique and Melgar 2018). Regardless, there is no doubt that this migration has shaped and will continue to affect Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans in known and unknown ways for decades to come. Not only is the current population projected to decline to 3.2 million by 2020, the same level as 1980; its composition will also be different, with a larger proportion of younger and middle-income residents leaving the island (Figueroa Rodríguez 2017; Liley and Sesin 2011).
