How this is calculated

The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.

About Hormigueros Municipio, PR

In Hormigueros Municipio, Puerto Rico, the effective property tax rate stands at 0.297%, which falls below Puerto Rico's statewide median of 0.389%. Among the state's 72 counties, this one ranks 51st by property tax rate. The gap with the national median of 0.794% is wider still — less than half. A median home value of $121,700 generates an annual real-estate tax bill of about $362. Households here earn a median of $26,828, with per-capita income at $16,601. Those income figures matter when weighing the tax rate: a lower rate against limited earnings can still shape affordability in ways a percentage alone doesn't capture. What the ranking signals is a county where property taxes take a comparatively restrained share of home value, though the broader economic picture suggests cost sensitivity remains a real factor for many households.

Frequently asked questions
