Typical home value divided by the average annual wage of one covered job.
A percentile here is a min-max scaling of average rank: the smallest published value in the cohort is 0 and the largest is 100, and tied values share the average of the ranks they span. It is not the share of entities below the value, so 0 means smallest, not none below. Entities that did not publish the metric are outside the cohort entirely and are counted in neither the rank nor its denominator.

Banks & federal dollars #
$216.0 m in deposits at 1 offices of 1 banks (SOD June 2026); HHI 10,000, highly concentrated. $4.3 m federal obligations in FY2026 (grants $3.1 m, contracts $1.2 m), $639 per covered job
| Item | Value | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Banco Popular de Puerto Rico | $216.0 m · 100.0% share · 1 office | |
| Cidra, PR | $4.3 m FY2026 · $639/job | |
| MULTIPLE RECIPIENTS | $159.7 m · top recipient FY2026 |
| Institution | Deposits | Share | Offices |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banco Popular de Puerto Rico | $216,000,000 | 100.0% | 1 |
Deposit concentration is 10,000 across 1 banks, which the 1995 Department of Justice bank merger screen calls highly concentrated.
HHI = Σ (share %)² over 1 banks with deposits in the county = 100.0² = 10,000
FDIC Summary of Deposits: deposits at every insured office as of June 30, annual; HHI is the sum of squared county deposit shares (DOJ 1995 bank merger screen: 1000 / 1800). USAspending: obligations by place of performance for the latest complete federal fiscal year (Oct 1 to Sep 30), what agencies committed, not what they paid out; recipients are legal entities. Per-job divides obligations by BLS QCEW covered employment.
Federal obligations #
USAspending place-of-performance obligations for FY2026, by awarding agency.
| Awarding agency | Obligations |
|---|---|
| Social Security Administration | $139,044,176 |
| Department of Veterans Affairs | $20,638,317 |
| Department of Transportation | $2,634,515 |
| Department of Housing and Urban Development | $1,572,733 |
| Environmental Protection Agency | $1,179,560 |
| Department of Health and Human Services | $450,754 |
| Federal Communications Commission | $78,235 |
| Railroad Retirement Board | $33,248 |
| Department of Agriculture | $25,252 |
| Small Business Administration | $0 |
That is $639 per covered job, against 6,659 jobs in the 2026 Q1 QCEW quarter.
per job = FY2026 obligations $4.3 m / 6,659 covered jobs (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all ownerships) = $639
USAspending obligations are recorded where the work is performed, so a prime award performed here is counted here even when the recipient is headquartered elsewhere. Recipients are legal entities, never people.

The indicator registry has no county-keyed series and no geographic selection: every entry is national, a named gauge, a single state or a port. They are here as the backdrop the county's own numbers move against, and they are never this county's readings.
