Zones constitute the second and final level of administrative division in Aruba, with 55 zones distributed across the island territory. These subdivisions serve primarily statistical and organizational purposes, helping the national government manage census data, demographic information, and the delivery of public services at a localized level. Unlike municipalities in larger countries, zones in Aruba do not have their own elected governments or legislative bodies, as the country operates under a unified administrative system where the central government maintains direct authority. The zones facilitate more efficient coordination of infrastructure maintenance, emergency services, and community planning initiatives by breaking down the small island nation into manageable geographic units. This administrative structure reflects Aruba's compact size and allows for streamlined governance while still maintaining neighborhood-level organization for practical administrative needs.
