00976 — Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico
Area Profile
Income, jobs, climate, physical risk and development data for ZIP code 00976.
Missing required signals: opportunity, growth. AreaProfile withholds a score rather than inferring the missing dimensions.
Physical-risk exposure is above the national median, driven mainly by hurricane, earthquake and landslide.
A major airport is 7 miles away, giving the area unusually direct access to the national air network.

Housing & affordability
How it’s calculated →Median rent of $640 takes 19% of median household income, below the 30% threshold at which a household is considered cost-burdened.
A median home costs 4.1 times median household income here, above the historic benchmark of about three times income.
| Metric | Value | Compared with peers | Source period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home price to income | 4.09 | Top 27% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Homeownership rate | 74.2% | Bottom 38% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Housing units ±889 | 27,904 | Top 1% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Median gross rent ±$44 | $640 | Bottom 8% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Median home value ±$3,228 | $163,200 | Bottom 32% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Rent as a share of income | 19.2% | Top 39% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Vacancy rate | 11.7% | Top 48% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
Both affordability measures come from the same ACS release as the income they are compared with, so the comparison is like for like. They describe housing cost against local earnings and are not a cost-of-living index — transport, groceries, healthcare, insurance and taxes are not included, and a place can look affordable here and still be expensive to live in for reasons this does not capture.
Growth & development
How it’s calculated →No building-permit activity is published for this location by the Census Building Permits Survey.

Climate figures are thirty-year normals, not current conditions. They describe what a typical year looks like rather than what the weather is doing today.
Physical risk
The hazards accounting for most of this area's expected annual loss are hurricane, earthquake and landslide.
Hazard ratings are AreaProfile calculations derived from the FEMA National Risk Index v1.20.0 (December 2025). FEMA publishes at county level. ZIP values are the land-area-weighted mean of the counties the ZIP Code Tabulation Area intersects. Expected annual loss is not allocated below county level. FEMA does not endorse this presentation. Higher physical resilience means lower exposure.
Taxes
AreaProfile does not yet publish tax comparisons. No tax dataset has met the source admission test for coverage, methodology transparency and update cadence, and the product rule is to omit a dimension rather than estimate it. The Area Score is calculated without a tax component and the weighting is documented on the methodology page.
Nothing on AreaProfile is individualized tax advice.
Access
3 major airports lie within 100 miles, the nearest 7 miles away.
| Airport | Code | Distance | Longest runway |
|---|---|---|---|
| Luis Munoz Marin Intl | SJU | 7 mi | 10,400 ft |
| Mercedita | PSE | 44 mi | 8,002 ft |
| Henry E Rohlsen | STX | 90 mi | 10,002 ft |
Airport identity, position and runway data come from the FAA. “Major airport” is an AreaProfile classification — a public-use civil airport with a paved runway of at least 8,000 feet — not an FAA hub designation. Distances are straight-line, not driving distance.

00976 vs Trujillo Alto
How this ZIP area compares with Trujillo Alto as a whole. Both figures come from the same ACS release, so the comparison is like for like.
Some demographic statistics use Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, which approximate but do not exactly match USPS ZIP delivery geography. See the methodology for how AreaProfile maps between them.
