America Counts: Stories Behind the Numbers
Home Values Rose Sharply in U.S. Island Areas
Median home values in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) were the highest ($290,600) among the four Island Areas included in the 2020 Island Areas Censuses released this week but the biggest jump in home values (48%) was in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) from 2010 to 2020.
The new 2020 Island Areas Censuses Demographic and Housing Characteristics (DHC) tables provide detailed homeownership and home values data at lower levels of geography than available in previously released 2020 Island Areas Censuses data for Guam, CNMI, American Samoa and USVI.
This article focuses on high-level geographies on each of the four Island Areas but because there are no counties or county equivalent geographies in Guam, no comparisons can be made at that geographic level.
Median home value increased by 48.8% in the CNMI from 2010 to 2020, from $123,800 to $184,200, the largest percentage increase of the four Island Areas, while Guam had the largest dollar increase ($61,700) in median home values, from $216,100 to $277,800.
