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 Orocovis Municipio, PR
Orocovis Municipio sits above Puerto Rico’s statewide median effective property tax rate of 0.389%, with a rate of 0.437%. That places the county 29th among the island’s 72 counties. On a median home value of $100,500, the median annual real-estate tax bill comes to $439. Against a median household income of $20,302, that bill equals roughly 2.2% of household earnings — a share that reflects how property taxes here interact with local incomes. Nationally, the picture looks different: the U.S. median effective rate is 0.794%, so Orocovis taxes property at a lighter rate than most mainland communities. The signals point in two directions at once — above average within Puerto Rico, below average against the nation — while per-capita income of $11,696 underscores that even a $439 bill carries weight in a place with limited earnings.
