The subspecies of cinnamon hummingbird are found thus:
A. r. diluta, the northwestern Mexican states of Sinaloa and Nayarit
A. r. graysoni, Isla María Madre in Islas Marías off the coast of western Mexico
A. r. rutila, from Jalisco in western Mexico south through El Salvador and western Honduras and Nicaragua into northwestern Costa Rica.
A. r. corallirostris, from Chiapas in Mexico south to El Salvador
The populations in Mexico's Yucatán state, northeastern Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica are usually attributed to A. r. rutila but have sometimes been considered to be part of A. r. corallirostris.
The cinnamon hummingbird inhabits primary and secondary deciduous and semi-deciduous forests and thorn forest. It ranges from sea level to about 1,600 m (5,200 ft) of elevation.
