District profile

The Senatorial District I covers all of the capital city of San Juan, as well as Aguas Buenas, and some regions of Guaynabo. It has an approximate population of 462,035.[1]

In previous distributions, the territory covered by the Senatorial District I has changed. Originally, the District only covered the capital city of San Juan.
