Sectors

Barrios (which are, in contemporary times, roughly comparable to minor civil divisions) and subbarrios, in turn, are further subdivided into smaller local populated place areas/units called sectores (sectors in English). The types of sectores may vary, from normally sector to urbanización to reparto to barriada to residencial, among others.

The following sectors are in Pueblo barrio:

Avenida Los Patriotas, Hacienda Borinquen, Sector Ballajá, Sector Barranco, Sector La Cuadra, Sector La Piedra, Sector La Pluma, Sector Seburuquillo, Tramo Carretera 111, Urbanización Alturas de Borinquen, Urbanización Campo Alegre, and Urbanización Palmas del Sol.

Sector Seburuquillo waited nearly three weeks to receive aid after Hurricane Maria destroyed infrastructure, leaving 80 families incommunicado and without food and water.
