It is a one of twenty one barrios in the municipality of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Pueblo includes what used to be the urban center barrio of the former municipality of Rio Piedras. Pueblo is a short form for “Rio Piedras Pueblo” which was the actual name of the barrio until 1951, when the municipality of Rio Piedras was absorbed by the municipality of San Juan. It has a population of 9,391 residing in land area of 0.72 (1.86 km²), resulting in a population density of 12,986.1 residents per square mile (5,013.96 km²). As many other urban centers in Puerto Rico, Pueblo has suffered population decreases throughout the last decades. Considering this fact, the municipal government has proposed an urban development plan called “Rio Piedras 2012” which purposes is to redevelop an important portion of the urban center mainly around the “Plaza de la Convalecencia" located in the subarrio of Rio Piedras Antiguo (Old Rio Piedras).

Pueblo is bounded to the West by Hato Rey Sur and El Cinco, with Universidad barrio to the North, and with Sabana Llana Sur barrio to the South and East.

[edit] Districts
