Puerto Rico is the easternmost island of the Greater Antilles in the Caribbean Sea, approximately a thousand miles southeast of Florida and just east of the Dominican Republic and west of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The island is approximately 90 miles wide in an east-west direction and 30 miles wide between the north and south coasts.

It depends where you are at the time. From Chicago to San Juan is 5 hours by plane. From Florida to Puerto Rico is about 2 hours. From New York to San Juan about 3 and a half hour. I'm guessing you don't want facts because you know how to find that on the internet. So I decided to give you an answer based on experience. Now you know that Puerto Rico is not so far away from the United States as is Hawaii, that is basically in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
God bless you

the elementary answer is that the human beings of Puerto Rico do not seem to choose statehood. whether, as with maximum issues, that answer ignores a brilliant number of the complexities of the subject. Puerto Rico, which the united states gained in 1898 as a results of the Spanish-American conflict, is an "unincorporated territory" of the united states. that is not a state, isn't entitled to vote casting illustration in Congress and has different constrained prestige below the US shape, yet human beings born in Puerto Rico are electorate of the united states and entitled to protections of the US shape.
