One hundred years past the largest wave of emigration from Portugal to the United States of America (USA), mainly from the Azores but also from Madeira, there is no characterization of the Portuguese-born immigrants and Portuguese descendants living in the USA today and little is known about their most recent dynamics. The latest studies on this population, published in Portugal or in the USA, are based on data from the very first years of the 21st century. This study aims at addressing this gap, meeting the interest of the Luso-American Development Foundation (FLAD) on having an up-to-date picture of the communities of people born in Portugal or with Portuguese ties.
