This section presents summary economic and social statistics for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the principal territories of the United States (Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa) and, wherever possible, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands. Primary sources are the decennial censuses of population and housing, and the censuses of agriculture, business, manufactures, and construction (taken every five years) conducted by the Bureau of the Census; 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 October 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 Virgin Islands, comprising 50 islands and cays, were purchased by the United States from Denmark in 1917. American Samoa, a group of 7 islands, was acquired by the United States in accordance with a convention among the United States, Great Britain, and Germany, ratified in February 1900. The Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands comprises 2,141 atolls and islands, about 96 of which are inhabited. By an agreement approved by the Security Council and the United States in 1947, this territory, formerly under Japanese mandate, has been administered by the United States since July 1947 under the United Nations trusteeship system. The Northern Mariana islands are in the process of becoming a Commonwealth. Some data, formerly included in the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, are now shown separately. The other districts of the Trust Territory are negotiating relationships of free association with the United States. Where negotiations are completed, subject to the approval of the U.S. Congress and the United Nations, the trusteeship will be dissolved. For a brief summary of U.S. territorial development, see tables 5 and 327. Censuses.—Because characteristics of the outlying 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 Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (the census of which was conducted in April 1958 by the Office of the High Commissioner), whereas the 1960 Census of Housing also excluded American Samoa. The 1970 and 1980 Censuses of Population and Housing covered all five areas. The 1959 and 1969 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 1978 census covered the same areas including American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands. Beginning in 1967, Congress authorized the economic censuses, to be taken at 5year intervals, for years ending in 2 and 7. Prior economic censuses were conducted in Puerto Rico for 1954, 1958, and 1963, and in Guam and the Virgin Islands for 1958 and 1963. In 1967, the census of construction industries was added for the first time in Puerto Rico; in 1972 Virgin Islands and Guam were covered. Beginning 1982, the economic censuses covered the Northern Mariana Islands.
