2022 Economic Census of Island Areas Data Now Available for U.S. Virgin Islands

Press Release Number: CB24-TPS.67

JULY 9, 2024 — The U.S. Census Bureau today released statistics on businesses with paid employees for the U.S. Virgin Islands from the 2022 Economic Census of Island Areas. Similar data for American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and Guam were released last month — and estimates for Puerto Rico are set to be released in December.

Estimates for the U.S. Virgin Islands as a whole and for each island are available at the two- through selected five-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) levels for all covered NAICS codes that meet publication standards. These statistics include the number of establishments, total employment, annual payroll and total sales, receipts or revenue. Data on expenses, inventories and a wide variety of other statistics are also available for selected sectors.

Published estimates for the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and Guam are available in the 2022 Economic Census of Island Areas snapshot series as well as on data.census.gov.

The Economic Census of Island Areas is the U.S. government’s official 5-year measure of employer businesses in the five permanently inhabited U.S. territories. The economic census is the primary source of statistics about the structure and functioning of the economies for each of the Island Areas, serving as part of the framework for the national accounts of the Island Areas. This release includes 22 tables covering a wide range of data such as basic business statistics, revenue by North American Product Classification System (NAPCS) category, data by size categories of businesses, and information on the business owners’ race, gender and citizenship status.

More information on the 2022 Economic Census release schedule is available online. For economic census information specific to Island Areas, visit 2022 Island Areas.
