MAY 21, 2026 — The U.S. Census Bureau today released the 2024 Community Resilience Estimates for Puerto Rico, which include population estimates by level of social vulnerability to disasters for the commonwealth, municipios and census tracts.
The updated interactive tool provides users with an easy-to-use interface to quickly identify and map neighborhoods with “low,” “medium” and “high” social vulnerability. The tool also includes local hazard risks from the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s National Risk Index, which rates a community’s expected economic loss each year due to natural disasters such as hurricanes, landslides, earthquakes, floods and strong winds.
Local planners, policymakers, public health officials and community stakeholders can use the estimates to help assess the potential resiliency of communities and plan mitigation and recovery strategies in the event of a disaster.
