The Island Areas

Census 2000 operations in American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands (collectively referred to as the Island Areas) were conducted by the government of each Island Area in partnership with the Census Bureau. These partnerships were designed to ensure that Census 2000 data met the legal requirements set forth in Title 13, U.S. Code, as well as the specific needs of each Island Area.
