DESCRIPTORS Adolescents; Census Figures; *Child Welfare; Children; Economic Factors; Fatherless Family; Heads of Households; *Population Trends; Secondary Education; Socioeconomic Status IDENTIFIERS *American Samoa; Bureau of the Census ABSTRACT Using 2000 U.S. Census data, this report compares the situation of children in American Samoa to children's situations in neighboring territories and the nation overall. Between 1999-2000, the number of children in American Samoa increased 24 percent, while the increase was only 14 percent nationwide during the past decade. In 2000, 45 percent of American Samoans were under age 18 years, compared with 26 percent of the U.S. population. While the national economy grew at a record pace in the 1990s, economic conditions for American Samoan children and families deteriorated. In 2000, women were the heads of household in 1 in 10 American Samoan families with children (substantially below the national average). Between 1990-2000, the percentage of 16-19-year-old American Samoan high school dropouts decreased from 21 to 17 percent (compared to 10 percent nationwide).

  • American Samoa Statistical Yearbook 2005
    STATISTICAL YEARBOOK 2005 AMERICAN SAMOA STATISTICAL YEARBOOK 2005 Produced by: The Statistics Division, Department of Commerce - 2006 STATISTICAL YEARBOOK 2005 Section One POPULATION This section presents statistics on growth, geographic distribution and general characteristics of the local population. The American Samoa 2000 census recorded a total population of 57,291. This represents an increase of 10,518 persons, 22 percent since the last count of 46,773 in 1990. The 2000 census reflected a much lower annual growth rate of 2.0 percent compared to the 3.7 percent between 1980 and 1990. The American Samoa population is very young. The median age remained at about 21 years; demanding much needed services for early childhood education, health and medical, family advocacy, and employment opportunities. The gender ratio recorded at 104 males for every 100 females. People moved to other places because of economic reasons, availability of land resources and socio/political stability. Internal movement from Manu’a District to both Eastern and Western Districts in Tutuila continued for many years. On the island of Tutuila, the population shifted from East to West in the past two decades. Western District had 32,435 people, while Eastern District had 23,441 people. The average number of persons per square kilometers is 286, according to the census count of 2000. Given the ruggedness and steep mountainous landscaping of the main island, the population density could be a lot higher than 286. Mid-year population estimates are calculated using the Balancing Equation Method. For 2005, the resident population was estimated at 65,500. While both births and deaths statistics are considered fairly complete, the migration component used in the mid-year estimate is an estimate based on the 1990-2000 intercensal residual migration and some indicators of net arrival/departure statistics from Immigration records.

This FEIS assesses the environmental and socio-economic impacts of the revised regulations for Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary. FBNMS was designated in 1986, "to protect and preserve an example of a pristine tropical marine habitat and coral reef terrace ecosystem of exceptional biological productivity". Fagatele Bay is located along the southwestern coast of Tutuila Island in American Samoa and is the smallest and most remote of the national marine sanctuaries as well as the only one in the Southern Hemisphere. FBNMS encompasses 0.25 square miles of reef flat, shallow reef, and steep slopes plunging down to 600 feet within a naturally protected bay surrounded by steep cliffs. This FEIS is prepared pursuant to NEPA to assess the environmental impacts of the revisions to the regulations for FBNMS. NOAA held public hearings and provided opportunity for public comments on the draft environmental impact statement and proposed rule from October 2011 to March 2012.
