Census Bureau Launches Experimental Community Resilience Estimates for Puerto Rico

Press Release Number CB23-TPS.67

June 7, 2023 – The U.S. Census Bureau today released the first Community Resilience Estimates (CRE) for Puerto Rico. These new estimates are an expansion of the CRE first launched in 2020. CRE provide an easily understood metric for a community’s capacity to withstand and recover from a disaster – such as a hurricane or hazardous event. Using Puerto Rico Community Survey (PRCS) restricted microdata and small area estimation methods, the experimental estimates measure social vulnerability to disasters at the state/commonwealth, municipio and census tract geographic levels.

Social vulnerability is measured based on 10 PRCS indicators:

  • Poverty status.
  • Disability status.
  • Number of caregivers in the households.
  • Unit-level crowding.
  • Vehicle access.
  • Broadband internet.
  • Employment.
  • Education.
  • Age.
  • Health insurance.

The CRE for Puerto Rico comes with an easy-to-use interactive mapping tool. The interactive tool provides data at the municipio and census tract geographic levels.
