How has Puerto Rico done while Resident Commissioner Pierluisi served?
2009 to 2016 in Puerto Rico: typical household income was about the same after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was down 1.5 points, and the share of workers looking for a job was down 2.8 points.
Each mini chart has its own scale, fitted to its lines (it does not start at zero), so compare the numbers, not the heights. Oxblood = state, grey = U.S.
While they served, not because of them. This shows what happened in Puerto Rico during Pierluisi’s time representing it (2009 to 2017). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.
Puerto Rico’s borders do not change, so every year is comparable. The Census Bureau has no 2020 yearly estimate.

Read this first. These are counts of records Congress.gov lists. Many bills never get a CBO estimate or a report, so a zero is not a mark against a member. We never show this as a score.
