Abstract
"This study [uses] 1991 marriage records from New York City [to examine] trends in marital assimilation among Puerto Ricans and the non-Puerto Rican Hispanic population. The prevalence of intermarriage varies among the six Hispanic national-origin groups. Changes in intermarriage patterns since 1975 are documented. Results show very high rates of intermarriage with non-Hispanics among Cubans, Mexicans, Central Americans, and South Americans. Considerable intermarriage among Hispanics of different national origins is characteristic of all Hispanics. Finally, Puerto Ricans and Dominicans have distinct patterns of intermarriage...." excerptKeywords: Americas; Cultural Background; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Ethnic Groups; Hispanics; Intermarriage; Marriage; Marriage Patterns; New York; North America; Northern America; Nuptiality; Place Of Birth; Population; Population Characteristics; United States
