51 census tracts in 4 counties qualify as low-income or high-poverty HUBZones until SBA's next map update in July 2028. Counties with the most:
- Providence County: 46 tracts

- Washington County: 2 tracts
- Kent 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 Rhode Island qualifies as a whole. HUBZones here are census tracts and Indian lands.
Indian lands
SBA's map lists 1 Indian land area in Rhode Island, such as reservations. Land inside these boundaries is a HUBZone with no set end date.
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 Rhode Island. If your office or employees relied on one, check each address again.
