The Challenge

In ZIP codes 00923 and 00924, the average annual income is just $19,318 — 20% below the Puerto Rico average. Only 58% of adults have a high school diploma and just 9% have a college education. The combination of high population density, limited access to economic resources, and a local economy dominated by low-wage sectors creates a structural disadvantage that limits access to quality jobs.
