Qualified census tracts in Massachusetts

326 census tracts in 13 counties qualify as low-income or high-poverty HUBZones until SBA's next map update in July 2028. Counties with the most:

  • Suffolk County: 105 tracts
  • Essex County: 50 tracts
  • Middlesex County: 37 tracts
  • Bristol County: 33 tracts
  • Worcester County: 33 tracts
  • Hampden County: 30 tracts

  • Norfolk County: 8 tracts
  • Berkshire County: 6 tracts
  • Barnstable County: 3 tracts
  • Hampshire County: 3 tracts
  • Franklin County: 2 tracts
  • Dukes County: 1 tract

A tract is only part of a county, often a few city blocks, so check each street address with the HUBZone map checker.

Qualified non-metropolitan counties

No county in Massachusetts qualifies as a whole. HUBZones here are census tracts.

Qualified disaster areas

Areas that had lost HUBZone status but were hit by a major disaster stay HUBZones for a while. In Massachusetts:

  • Bristol County, 1 tract, after Severe Storms and Flooding: until Jul 1, 2028
  • Bristol County, 1 tract, after Flash Flooding September 11-13: until Jul 1, 2028
  • Worcester County, 2 tracts, after Severe Storms and Flooding: until Jul 1, 2028
  • Worcester County, 1 tract, after Flash Flooding September 11-13: until Jul 1, 2028

Redesignated areas ended July 1, 2026

Tracts and counties that lost HUBZone status in SBA's 2023 map update stayed HUBZones for three years as redesignated areas. Those expired on July 1, 2026, and SBA's data no longer lists any in Massachusetts. If your office or employees relied on one, check each address again.

Frequently asked questions

Where are the HUBZones in Massachusetts?

SBA's map data lists 326 qualified census tracts in 13 counties of Massachusetts, most in Suffolk County, Essex County and Middlesex County. Check a specific address with the free HUBZone map checker or on SBA's map.

How do I qualify for HUBZone in Massachusetts?

Your principal office, where most of your employees work, must be in a HUBZone, and at least 35% of your employees must live in one (any HUBZone, in any state). You also must be small and at least 51% owned and controlled by U.S. citizens, and apply to SBA for free at certifications.sba.gov.

Are there HUBZone set-aside contracts in Massachusetts?
