How did Albuquerque miss out?

According to this site, Albuquerque has a populaiton of 559,374, with 21.97% speaking Spanish at home,

for a total of 122502.9 (home) Spanish speakers.

Quiz cut off is 123K. Darn the luck.

This source claims 49.2% of the population is Hispanic, which suggests more than half of those either:

   * don't speak Spanish

   * speak Spanish, but

      + speak English at home

      + speak some other language at home

      + don't talk at home

         - I will leave it to the reader to speculate why

Well, it does specify those older than 5 probably because anyone younger than 5 can't really be considered fluent in whatever language they're learning barring extreme cases so that would account for some of them

Why is Puerto Rico not included? What country does it fit under if not the USA?

Nobody knows in America

Puerto Rico's in America

The caveat doesn't say it isn't included because it isn't part of the USA. It probably isn't included because virtually everyone in PR speaks Spanish in the home.

PR is never included in American quizzes. It's kind of frustrating. The largest cities quiz excludes PR for some reason.

I don't necessarily disagree, cities in Puerto Rico probably should be included on some US cities quizzes. I don't think so on this quiz, though. The point is to guess cities where Spanish is not the main language, but that have large Spanish speaking populations. If you included PR, five cities would make this list. Also, I was mainly calling out Bilzzrd's incorrect assumption that PR wasn't included because it isn't considered part of the USA. The fact QM listed it in the caveats shows he knows it's an American territory and is excluding it for some other reason.

The U.S. Census Bureau keeps separate statistics for territories, so Puerto Rico, Guam, etc. are almost always left out of tables not specifically pertaining to territories.

It is hard to believe that Albuquerque doesn't have more than some of these cities.

Albuquerque has about 109k Spanish speakers, about 14k lower than the last answer.

I feel like I should get credit for "Tucson" given that I spelled it correctly and the quiz did not.

Of course the one time I spell Tucson correctly is on the one quiz that the wrong spelling would have gotten credit.

I should probably create an official typein for Tucson as this is not the first time this has happened.

In any case, fixed.

OK - hope to remember all the answers when the quiz is reset after the spelling of Tucson gets corrected. Of course that'll probably be the one I forget.
