The results indicate that the way Puerto Ricans classified themselves was significantly related to their socioeconomic position. Puerto Ricans identifying as "Other" (and writing in a Spanish desciptor) laggedfar behind those identifying as "VWhite. " On some variables, the group identifying as "Black" fared about the same as the "White" group, while in other areas, it was similar to the "Other-Spanish" group.
