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 Yabucoa Municipio, PR
Property owners in Yabucoa Municipio, Puerto Rico, pay an effective property tax rate of 0.203%, well beneath the statewide median of 0.389%. Only 63 of Puerto Rico's 72 counties rank lower by this measure, placing Yabucoa among the island's least-taxed jurisdictions. Against the national median of 0.794%, the gap is roughly fourfold. A median home value of $97,800 generates an annual real-estate tax bill of just $199. That figure sits alongside a median household income of $22,944 and per-capita income of $12,580, both far below mainland norms. The low levy signals that property taxation contributes little to local revenue, which may reflect limited assessed values, constrained municipal budgets, or heavy reliance on commonwealth transfers rather than local collections. Buyers here face exceptionally low carrying costs, though the same structure can limit funding for schools, infrastructure, and services that depend on the property tax base.
