Sectors

Barrios (which are, in contemporary times, roughly comparable to minor civil divisions)[5] and subbarrios,[6] 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.[7] [8]

The following sectors are in Pueblo barrio:[9]

Spanish; Castilian: Avenida Los Patriotas, Hacienda Borinquen, Sector Ballajá, Sector Barranco, Sector La Cuadra, Sector La Piedra, Sector La Pluma, Sector Seburuquillo, Tramo [[Puerto Rico Highway 111|Carretera 111]], Urbanización Alturas de Borinquen, Urbanización Campo Alegre, and Spanish; Castilian: 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.[10]
