Qualified non-metropolitan counties

Every address in these 7 rural counties is in a HUBZone, because of low household income, high unemployment or a HUD difficult development area:

  • Coamo Municipio
  • Culebra Municipio
  • Jayuya Municipio
  • Maricao Municipio
  • Salinas Municipio
  • Santa Isabel Municipio
  • Vieques Municipio

Qualified disaster areas

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

  • San Juan Municipio, 2 tracts, after Excessive Rainfall: 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 Puerto Rico. If your office or employees relied on one, check each address again.

Frequently asked questions

Where are the HUBZones in Puerto Rico?

SBA's map data lists 816 qualified census tracts in 78 counties of Puerto Rico, most in San Juan Municipio, Bayamon Municipio and Ponce Municipio. 7 rural counties qualify as a whole. Check a specific address with the free HUBZone map checker or on SBA's map.

How do I qualify for HUBZone in Puerto Rico?

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 Puerto Rico?

None list Puerto Rico as the place of performance right now, out of 27 open nationwide. Many HUBZone set-asides are for supplies, which can be delivered from anywhere, so look beyond your state.
