Quick answer
Vecindr's current municipality dataset gives Ceiba a 58/100 safety score, a D grade, and a rank of 60 out of 78. Its reported crime rate of 1,555.3 per 100,000 residents is about 29% above the municipality average, so the data does not support describing Ceiba as uniformly low-crime. For people comparing Eastern Puerto Rico, Ceiba is worth evaluating alongside nearby municipalities rather than from tourism reputation or a single island-wide ranking alone.
Vecindr safety insights are designed to support relocation research and municipality comparisons. Individual neighborhoods, streets, and properties should always be evaluated directly before making housing decisions.

Location and daily life
Ceiba is an eastern Puerto Rico municipality bordering Fajardo, Naguabo, Humacao, and Las Piedras. Search results can confuse it with a barrio named Ceiba in Vega Alta; this page and the linked Vecindr report refer only to the east-coast municipality.
The former Roosevelt Roads naval station occupies a major part of Ceiba's modern geography and redevelopment conversation. Anyone evaluating housing nearby should verify the exact sector, road access, current land use, and distance to everyday services rather than treating Roosevelt Roads as a single residential market.
Ceiba is also associated with the ferry terminal serving Puerto Rico's offshore islands. Ferry access can be useful, but schedules, parking, ticket availability, and travel time are operational details that should be checked directly for the dates a resident expects to travel.

Use these points as a relocation checklist, then confirm the details for the specific barrio or property you are considering.

Vecindr's compiled 2015 municipality registry does not list a healthcare facility in Ceiba. Because that source is dated and may not capture every current provider, residents should independently confirm clinics, urgent care, hospitals, and travel times in Ceiba and nearby Fajardo or Humacao.

Ceiba has a 58/100 Vecindr safety score and D grade in the current municipality dataset. Its reported rate is 1,555.3 crimes per 100,000 residents, about 29% above the municipality average. Conditions can still differ by sector and property.
The Ceiba ferry terminal serves offshore-island routes, but schedules, ticket rules, parking, and service conditions can change. Verify current operations directly before treating ferry access as a daily-life benefit.
Roosevelt Roads is the former U.S. naval station area in Ceiba. It remains relevant to local geography, redevelopment, roads, and nearby land use, but buyers and renters should research the exact sector rather than assume one uniform condition.
Verify the exact municipality and sector, crime context, flood exposure, road access, ferry logistics, commute, utilities, insurance, schools, and current healthcare options.
