Section 32

Outlying Areas Under the Jurisdiction of the United States

This section presents summary statistics on the industrial, social, and agricultural organization of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the principal possessions of the United States (Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa), and the Canal Zone. Population estimates of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands are also presented. Primary sources of these data are the decennial censuses of population, housing, and agriculture, and the quinquennial censuses of business and manufactures conducted by the Bureau of the Census; the annual Vital Statistics of the United States issued by the Public Health Service; the biennial Statistics of State School Systems published by the Office of Education; the Minerals Yearbook of the Bureau of Mines; and the annual Agricultural Statistics of the Department of Agriculture.

Jurisdiction. The circumstances under which the United States gained jurisdiction over these areas are 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, signed December 10, 1898, and ratified in 1899. Puerto Rico acquired the status of a commonwealth on July 25, 1952.

The Virgin Islands, formerly known as the Danish West Indies, were purchased by the United States from Denmark in 1917.

American Samoa was acquired by the United States in accordance with a convention among the United States, Great Britain, and Germany, signed December 2, 1899, and ratified February 16, 1900.

The use, occupation, and control of the Canal Zone were granted to the United States under the terms of a treaty with the Republic of Panama, signed November 18, 1903, and ratified in 1904.

The Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands is comprised of 2,141 atolls and islands, 96 of which are inhabited. This territory, formerly under Japanese mandate, was placed under the United Nations trusteeship system by an agreement approved by the Security Council on April 27, 1947, and by the United States on July 18, 1947.

For a brief summary of the territorial development of the United States, see tables 5 and 250 in sections 1 and 6, respectively.

Censuses. Because of differences in the population and housing characteristics and the varieties of agricultural products among the outlying areas, the presentation of census data is not uniform for all areas. However, the tables in this section give, as nearly as possible, comparable data for the areas. 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 covered only Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. The 1959 Census of Agriculture covered Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, and the Virgin Islands; the 1964 Census covered the same areas except American Samoa. Censuses of Business and Manufactures were conducted in Puerto Rico for 1954, 1958, and 1963, and in Guam and the Virgin Islands for 1958 and 1963.

For definition and explanation of terms used, see section 1, Population; section 23, Agriculture Farms, Land, and Finances; section 24, Agriculture-Production, Marketing, and Trade; section 28, Construction and Housing; section 29, Manufactures; and section 30, Distribution and Services.

Information in other sections.—In addition to the specialized statistics presented in this section, other data are included as integral parts of many tables showing distribution by States in various sections of the Abstract.
