| Abstract | This report describes children in the U.S. Virgin Islands, using 2000 U.S. Census data. Between 1990-2000 the number of children in the U.S. Virgin Islands decreased 3 percent, mainly due to declining birth rates. While the U.S. economy grew at a record pace in the 1990s, contributing to the lowest child poverty rate in 20 years, economic conditions for children and families in the U.S. Virgin Islands deteriorated. In 2000, almost half of all families with children in the U.S. Virgin Islands were headed by females; a substantial increase from 1990. Between 1990-2000, the number of children living on the most populated islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas decreased, while on St. John, the least populated island, the number of children increased. The highest child poverty levels were in the towns of Frederiksted (68 percent) and Christiansted (61 percent), St. Croix. The child poverty rate was lowest in West End, St. Thomas (14 percent). In 2000, female-headed families with children, as a share of all families with children, were most common in St. Croix (47 percent), followed by St. Thomas (44 percent) and St. John (40 percent). In Christiansted, St. Croix, one-fourth of teens were high school dropouts in 2000. (SM) |
