The United States Virgin Islands, an unincorporated U.S. territory in the Caribbean Sea, boasts stunning beaches and a tropical climate, making it a popular tourist destination. With a population of 87,146 spread across 347 km², its capital is Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas, and it falls within the Americas region. While GDP data is unavailable, the economy thrives on tourism, rum production, and offshore finance.
The reported current population estimate (87,146) is significantly lower than the total population reported for 2023 (104,917), suggesting a substantial recent population decline or major discrepancies in reporting methods, possibly due to emigration or post-disaster recovery.
Despite being a small, densely populated island territory with high urbanization, the USVI maintains a robust forest area percentage of over 58%, indicating successful preservation efforts or geographical features that limit development in certain areas.
A life expectancy of 80.52 years places the USVI well above the global average (typically around 73 years), suggesting strong public health infrastructure and access to quality healthcare, likely benefiting from its association with the US.
Achieving 100% access to electricity is a significant infrastructure accomplishment, suggesting a highly developed and reliable power grid capable of serving the entire population, a key indicator of modern development.
