Puerto Rico and the Island Areas
U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2006
Section 29
Puerto Rico and the Island Areas
This section presents summary economic
and social statistics for Puerto Rico, the
U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American
Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Primary sources are the decennial censuses of population and housing, county
business patterns, and the censuses of
agriculture, business, manufactures, and
construction (taken every 5 years) conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau; the
annual Vital Statistics of the United States,
issued by the National Center for Health
Statistics; and the annual Income and
Product of the Puerto Rico Planning Board,
San Juan.
Jurisdiction—The United States gained
jurisdiction over these areas as follows:
the islands of Puerto Rico and Guam, surrendered by Spain to the United States in
December 1898, were ceded to the United
States by the Treaty of Paris, ratified in
1899. Puerto Rico became a commonwealth on July 25, 1952, thereby achieving a high degree of local autonomy
under its own constitution. The U.S. Virgin Islands, comprising 50 islands and
cays, was purchased by the United States
from Denmark in 1917. American Samoa,
a group of seven islands, was acquired by
the United States in accordance with a
convention among the United States,
Great Britain, and Germany, ratified in
1900 (Swains Island was annexed in
1925). By an agreement approved by the
Security Council and the United States,
the Northern Mariana Islands, previously
under Japanese mandate, was administered by the United States between 1947
and 1986 under the United Nations trusteeship system. The Northern Mariana
Islands became a commonwealth in 1986.
Censuses—Because characteristics of the
Puerto Rico and the Island Areas differ,
the presentation of census data for them
is not uniform. The 1960 Census of Population covered all of the places listed
above except the Northern Mariana
Islands (their census was conducted in
April 1958 by the Office of the High Commissioner), while the 1960 Census of
Housing also excluded American Samoa.
The 1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000 Censuses of Population and Housing covered
all five areas. The 1959, 1969, and 1978
Censuses of Agriculture covered Puerto
Rico, American Samoa, Guam, and the Virgin Islands; the 1964, 1974, and 1982
censuses covered the same areas except
American Samoa; and the 1969, 1978,
1987, 1992, and 1997 censuses included
the Northern Mariana Islands. Beginning
in 1967, Congress authorized the economic censuses, to be taken at 5-year
intervals, for years ending in ‘‘2’’ and ‘‘7.’’
Prior economic censuses were conducted
in Puerto Rico for 1949, 1954, 1958, and
1963 and in Guam and the U.S. Virgin
Islands for 1958 and 1963. In 1967, the
census of construction industries was
added for the first time in Puerto Rico; in
1972, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam
were covered. For 1982, 1987, 1992, and
1997 the economic censuses covered the
Northern Mariana Islands.
Information in other sections—In
addition to the statistics presented in this
section, other data are included as integral parts of many tables showing distribution by states in various sections of the
Abstract. See ‘‘Puerto Rico and the Island
Areas’’ in the Index. For definition and
explanation of terms used, see Section 1,
Population; Section 4, Education; Section
17, Agriculture; Section 20, Construction
and Housing; Section 21, Manufactures;
and Section 22, Domestic Trade.
