1990 Census of Population and Housing - Summary Population and Housing Characteristics: Virgin Islands of the United States

Written by:
Report Number: CPH-1-55

The data from the 1990 Census of the Virgin Islands were derived from questions asked of the entire population and about every housing unit. There were no questions asked of only a portion or sample of the population and housing units. Although data were collected on a 100-percent basis, data products for the Virgin Islands are separated to include subjects that are comparable to those shown in the 100-percent and sample data products for the United States.

A Note on Language

Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
