Chapter 1 – Population

The population of the CNMI in 2010 was 53,883 according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Until the 2000,

CNMI’s population increased in every census, but it decreased between 2000 and 2010 primarily because of

the closing of the garment factories. Saipan continued to have about 90 percent of the population in 2010, at

about 48,000, while Rota had about 2,500 and Tinian had about 3,100. The Northern Islands were uninhab-

ited.

The Commonwealth had about 300 people per square mile in 2010, but not even divided. Saipan’s density

was more than 1,000 per square mile compared to 77 for Rota and 80 for Tinian.

The population of the CNMI was about 3,000 during Japanese times, but began increasing rapidly under the

American governance with better health and education. The population was 8,300 in 1958, at the time of the

first full U.S. Census, in connection with the 1960 US Census, and it increased to more than 14,000 in 1973,

17,000 in 1980, 43,000 in 1990, and 69,000 in 2000, before the recent decrease.

While the populations of Rota and Tinian were small enough that the Census Bureau did not disaggregate

them further, Saipan’s 5 Districts were enumerated, with District 3 being largest with 15,600 people, followed

by District 1 (15,200), District 5 (7,200), District 2 (6,400), and District 4 being smallest at 3,800.

The median age – the age that equally divides the population into an older and younger half – was 33.4 years

in 2010. The median age in 1973 was 17.2, so that age almost doubled during the period. The median age

increased to 19.7 by 1980 and remained around 28 from 1990 to 2000 before increasing by about 5 years in

the decade before the 2010 census. The median age for males in 2010 was 34.4 years compared to 32.5 for

females, so the average male was about 2 years older. Saipan’s median age was 33.3, compared to 35.0 for

Rota and 33.8 for Tinian.

The CNMI had about 106 males for every 100 females in 2010. This sex ratio was about 111 in 1980 during

the last years of the Trust Territory, and stayed at the level in 1990, but decreased in 1995 to 95 males per

100 females and 85 in 2000 at the height of the garment factory period when many single Chinese and other

foreign females were on island. In 2000, CNMI had only 37 males for every 100 females in the 20 to 24 age

group. The disparity continued in the middle age groups in 2010 to a lesser extent. In 2010, Saipan saw a

sex ratio of 105 compared to 112 in Rota and 114 in Tinian, with the neighbor islands being even more female

than Saipan.

The average household size in 2010 was 3.26 people compared to 3.65 in 2000, so the average size decreased

by about half a person during the decade. The average family size decreased from 4.16 to 3.80 people.

Family sizes are generally larger than household sizes because households include people living alone, who

are not included in the family averages. Saipan had the largest families and households in 2010, but Tinian

and Rota had larger families than Saipan in 2000.

The U.S. Census collects information on grandparents in the house watching grandchildren. Of course, tra-

ditional Chamorro and Carolinian cultures expect everyone to participate in child rearing, especially grand-

parents. The total number of grandparents in households did not change very much between 2000 and 2010,

at more than 2,000. More than half of the grandparents in each census were responsible for their grandchil-

dren, with about half of them being responsible for the grandchildren for 5 years or more.

About 2.2 children were ever born to females 35 to 44 years (the end of the reproductive period), with only

Rota being higher, at about 2.7 children. These rates are near replacement, so any increase in CNMI’s pop-

ulation would be due to immigration (and decreases would be to emigration). The rate increased from about

2.1 in 2000 as many of the remaining garment factories left the islands.

Chapter 1 2015 CNMI Statistical Yearbook


About 24,000 CNMI residents in 2010 were born in foreign places. Asia born were by far the largest, of

course, with about 90 percent, and Oceania (particularly those from FSM) were most of the rest of the foreign

born. Saipan had about 22,000 of the foreign born, with Tinian having about 1,400 and Rota about 800. The

numbers of foreign born decreased considerably between 2000 and 2010. In 2000, about 40,000 resident

were foreign born, with about 15,700 born in the Philippines and about 15,600 born in China; the Philippines

born decreased to 14,500 in 2000 but the China born decreased by more than 10,000 to 3,400 in 2010. The

Oceania populations also decreased as the Freely Associated States migrants pursued better economic oppor-

tunities on Guam and Hawaii. About 34,000 (about 2 out of every 3) residents had mothers and fathers

foreign born, a considerable decrease from 2000.

About 35,000 CNMI residents native-born U.S. Citizens, including about 27,000 born in the CNMI itself.

Of the 24,000 Foreign born, only about 1,000 were naturalized U.S. citizens. Of those not citizens, about

equal numbers had arrived in the last decade compared to previous decades – more than 10,000 in each group.

The percentage of native born increased considerably between 2000 and 2010, while the number of foreign

citizens decreased from about 39,000 to 23,000 during the decade, accounting for almost all of the decline in

the total population. As would be expected, most of the foreigners came to work.

The U.S. Census uses residence 5 years before the census to measure short term migration. About 44,000

people (or about 83 percent) of the population 5 years and older lived in the same house in 2005 as 2010. Of

the others, about 13 percent lived in a different house in the CNMI, and about 2,000 lived outside the CNMI.

The largest ethnic group in the CNMI in 2010 were Filipinos, at 19,000 being about 35 percent of the total

resident population. Chamorros were the largest other single ethnicity, at 12,900, but 4,600 people reported

as Chamorro with some other ethnic group, so the total was about 17,500 or about 32 percent of the popula-

tion. About 2,500 were reported as Carolinian, 3,700 as Chinese, and 2,600 as Koreans. Of the Freely

Associated States, about 1,200 reported as Chuukese and a slightly smaller number reported as Palauan.

About 2 percent of the CNMI adult population were military veterans, but the rate would be higher if only

U.S. citizens were included. About 5.5 percent of the population reported having a disability, but about 38

percent of those 65 years and over.

Of the population 5 years and over, about 33,000 (or 2 out of every 3 non-English speakers) spoke a Pacific

Islander language at home. About 8,400 spoke only English at home. About 12,000 spoke Chamorro (about

1 in every 4 of the resident speakers) and about 16,000 spoke a Filipino language (about 1 in 3). (For some

reason, Philippines languages are included in the Pacific Islander category here.) About 3,300 spoke Chinese

languages and 2,300 spoke Korean at home. As expected, the numbers speaking Chinese languages de-

creased by about 10,000 during the decade before the 2010 census, while Philippines languages increased

slightly and Chamorro decreased from about 14,000 to about 12,000. About half the non-English speakers

spoke English as about as often as their other language at home, while about 7,000 spoke English more than

the other language, and 19,000 spoke the other language more than English. The percentage speaking English

only increased considerably during the decade before the census.

Because of the closing of the garment factories within decade or so before the 2010 census, estimates and

projections are very difficult to make.

The last part of the chapter shows results for the villages in Saipan. Both population and housing variables

from the 2010 are included.

CHAPTER 2

Health



Chapter 2 – Health

Health data are collected and maintained by the CNMI Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation (CHC). The

data included here go through calendar 2014, but the CHC collects statistics on a monthly basis, and so has

more recent data.

The CNMI has about 1,000 births a year, and that number has remained fairly constant in recent years. About

half the births are to residents, while the remainder are to temporary residents and tourists, with tourist births

staying about 300 in recent years. More male than female births were reported in each year (569 to 488 or a

sex ratio of 117 in 2014).

Of the 6,500 births between 2009 and 2014, about 3,500 (about 54 percent) were to residents, with about

3,000 being U.S. citizen births, about 360 to Freely Associated citizens, and about 200 on Immediate Resident

Permits. Of the temporary residents, almost all were guest workers, although about 100 were to guest worker

dependents. About, as noted, about 1,300 were to tourists. Of the tourists, about 1,100 of the 1,300 were

Chinese.

The crude birth rate (births per 1,000 population) increased from about 19.9 in 2009 to 2011 to about 21.1

during 2012 to 2014. Resident births were about half the total as noted. The CNMI had very few low-weight

births and almost all babies were born to term. The total fertility rate decreased from about 2.9 births over

the reproductive period during 2009 to 2011 based on the age-specific births to about 2.2 during the 2012 to

2014 period. The age-specific rates decreased for females younger than 35 but increased for those 35 years

and over.



About 800 deaths were reported for the CNMI during the period 2011 to 2014. About 62 percent of the

deaths were to males. During the 4 year period, the largest number of deaths were of the circulatory system

(heart attacks and strokes), at 251 (about 1 in 3), followed by Neoplasms – cancers (133 or 1 in 6). Males

died on average at 60.3 years while females died on average at 63.6 years, so life expectancy is lower than

in the States. The CNMI had very few neonatal and post-neonatal deaths during the period.

In 2013, the CNMI conducted a Behavioral Risk Survey. The estimated population of adults at that time was

34,670. About 20,000 adults had never smoked cigarettes (59 percent) while 6,800 (20 percent) smoked

every day. More people did not chew betel nut with tobacco daily, but still 5,100 or 15 percent of the adults

did chew betel nut with tobacco daily. While 12,600 (37 percent) had never used alcohol, about 900 (3

percent) drank alcohol on a daily basis. And 244 adults reported smoking marijuana on a daily basis. The

numbers for heroin use, hallucinogens, inhalants, and prescription drugs use were very small and not reliable.

The average user of cigarettes, betel nut with tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana was between 16 and 20 years

old when he or she started using.

Most adults found considerable risk in all of the substances presented, and the large majority also disapproved

of their use. Most adults had not driven vehicles when impaired and most had not been riding with someone

else impaired. And, most adults had not suffered from a nervous condition in the month before the survey.

The Nutrition Assistance Program (NAP), Department of Community and Cultural Affairs, used to provide

statistics on participants. Data are included in this chapter based on data up to FY 2004. More recent data

are probably available, but were not provided.

CHAPTER 3

Education



Chapter 3 – Education

The U.S. Census and the CNMI Public School System report statistics on school enrollment and educational

attainment.

In 2010, the Census reported about 15,000 students enrolled in schools in the CNMI. About half of these

were enrolled in elementary schools, about 1 in 4in high schools, and smaller numbers in college, and pre-

schools. The numbers enrolled increased between 2000 and 2010 even though the total population decreased

during the period. Most of the increase was in those attending high school an increase of about 50 percent

to almost 3,700. The numbers attending tertiary schools increased from about 1,100 to 1,800.

The percentage of high schools graduates increased from about 47 percent in 1980 to 82 percent in 2010,

although with a dip during the garment factory years. Similarly, the percentage with a bachelor’s degree or

more, increased from about 12 percent in 1980 to about 20 percent in 2010. Because it is most of the popu-

lation, the high school and college graduation rates for Saipan were very similar to those for the whole Com-

monwealth. Tinian had about the same high school graduation rate, but a lower percentage of college grad-

uates, while Rota had a higher high school graduation rate but a lower college graduation rate. Of Saipan’s

Districts, District 3 had the highest high school and college graduation rates, with about 1 in 4 of the adults

being college graduates.

The percentages being high school graduates (from 69 to 82 percent) and college graduates (15 to 20 percent)

increased considerably during the decade. The percentage of college graduates increased for both Saipan

and Rota, but decreased for Tinian, while the high school graduation rates increased for all three islands.

This chapter also includes data from the CNMI Public School System, but they have not provided data since

2005, so only available data are shown here.

CHAPTER 4

Labor Force and

Employment



Chapter 4 – Labor Force and Employment

Data on labor force participation and employment come from the U.S. Census and the CNMI Department of

Labor and Immigration.

Of the 39,000 adults in the CNMI in 2010, about 28,000 (72 percent) were in the labor force, as the U.S.

government defines it. The United Nations agencies include subsistence activities as “in the labor force” and

so come up with higher participation rates and lower unemployment rates. The U.S. defined unemployment

rate in 2010 was 11.2 percent. The female participation rate was 67 percent (2 out of 3 of the male adults)

compared to 78 percent for the males. And, male unemployment in 2010 was 10 percent compared to 13

percent for the females.

Because censuses take snapshots of a population at different points in time, the participation and unemploy-

ment rates represent only those particular points. Economic activities vary from season to season and from

year to year. Nonetheless, the male participation rate was highest in the 1995 census at 90 percent and the

female rate was highest in that year and in 2000. And the unemployment rates also varied considerably over

time.

The participation rate for Saipan in 2010 was 72 percent as well, compared to 76 percent for Rota and 81

percent for Tinian. The unemployment rate for Saipan at that time was 12 percent, compared to 8 percent

for Rota and 7 percent for Tinian. About 1,100 people were doing subsistence in addition to work for pay.

These adults were fishing or growing agriculture products for home use in addition to working at paid jobs.

Males on Saipan participated at 77 percent compared to 81 percent on Rota and 86 percent on Tinian, while

females participated at 66 percent on Saipan, 71 percent on Rota, and 75 percent on Tinian. The labor force

participation rate for the islands decreased between 2000 and 2010, partly because of the closing of the gar-

ment factories and the private sector jobs supporting them. The rate for Saipan decreased from 84 percent to

72 percent, for Rota from 79 to 76 percent, and for Tinian from 83 to 81 percent. Both males and females on

each island showed similar decreases.

Unfortunately, the U.S. Census Bureau does not release Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) to CNMI

and American Samoa as they do for Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and so some trends could not be

maintained. So, we can only show labor force participation rates for ethnic groups up to 2000. For the

historical record, the rate for Chamorros in 2000 was 59 percent compared to 54 percent for Carolinians, 92

percent for Filipinos, and 99 percent for Chinese.



The Census collects information on occupation in 5 major categories: management, service, sales, resources,

and production. The largest category in 2010 was service jobs with 7,400 (or 30 percent), followed by man-

agement, business and science with 6,700 (or 27percent). About 43,000 adults had specified occupations in

2000 compared to 25,000 in 2010. All of the categories remained about the same except for production,

transportation and material moving, which decreased from 18,000 in 2000 to 2,000 in 2010, almost totally

because of the closing of the garment factories. In fact, the number of machine operators increased from 118

in 1980 to 4,800 in 1990, and then 6,900 in 1995 before decreasing to 2,200 in 2000. Almost all of the

workers were female.

The census data on industry show similar results. The numbers in manufacturing (so including the garment

factories) increased from 110 in 1980 to 5,700 in 1990, 7,800 in 1995, and then jumped to 17,000 in 2000

before decreasing to just 700 in 2010. However, the tourism industry took off at about the same time as the

garments were leaving. Service jobs increased from 1,800 in 1980 to 6,800 in 1990, 11,200 in 1995 before

decreasing to 2,400 in 2000 and then increase to 1,600 in 2010. (It looks like 2000 industries may have been

coded differently from the other years.)

The Census Bureau defines 3 main classes of workers: private sector, public sector, and self-employed (and

family). In 2010, about 19,000 adults were in the private sector (about 3 in every 4 workers) and about 5,300

(about 1 in 5) were government workers. As expected, Saipan had the largest numbers of workers. About

700 (50 percent) of Rota’s workers were in the private sector compared to about 1,200 (69 percent) of

Tinian’s workers. In 2000, 37,000 (87 percent of the workers in the private sector – 7 of 8 compared to 6 of

8 in 2010), and about 5,000 (about 1 in 8) were in the public sector. The percentage in the private sector

increased from about 56 percent in 1980 to 85 percent in 1990, 83 percent in 1995, 87 percent in 2000 and

77 percent in 2010.

CNMI basically has no public transportation. In 2010, of the 24,500 workers, about 9,800 (40 percent – 2 in

every 5) workers drove alone to work in a private vehicle. Another 8,000 (about 1 in 3) drove to work in a

private vehicle, but with others, that is, carpooling. The next category of workers was those who walked to

work. About 3,800 (15 percent) were in this category. And about 1,500 (about 6 percent) worked at home.

The number who walked in the 2000 census was 16,895 (about 37 percent) occurred because of the continu-

ing presence of the garment factories. The percentage of those who drove alone increased between 2000 and

2010, but only about half as many carpooled in 2010 as did in 2000.

About 36,000 (2 out of every 3) people had health insurance in 2010, so about 1/3rd did not have health

insurance. Of those under 18, though, only about 17 percent did not have health insurance coverage.

The Department of Labor and Immigration collects data on current labor force participation. Unfortunately,

the trends stopped in 2004. When new data become available, they will be included in the yearbook.

CHAPTER 5

Income



Chapter 5 – Income

The Census Bureau collects income of individuals in households using a series of categories, like wages,

business, interest, rentals, and so forth. The individual incomes are compiled, but the Census also combines

the individual incomes into household and family incomes, and usually provides mean (average) income as

well as median income (that income where half the category is richer and have poorer than that amount.

The median household income in 2009 (last full year before the 2010 census) was $19,958 and the mean

income was $31,463. The mean was higher because some households made much more money than aver-

age, and so brought the average amount up. The median household income for Saipan was about $400 less,

at about $19,600, while the median household incomes for Rota and Tinian were $23,125 and $24,470

respectively. The median household income for Saipan’s District 5 was much higher than the others, at

$27,200. The median household income for District 4 was 24,700, followed by District 1 ($19,400), District

3 ($18,800), and District 2 ($15,700).

The median household income, adjusted for inflation, decreased from $29,500 in 1999 to $20,000 in 2009.

The inflation adjustment is from the U.S. and so might not be completely appropriate for the CNMI. All

three islands saw very significant dips in their household incomes under this measure. But, the CNMI house-

hold income decreased from 1999 to 2009 even without considering inflation, from $22,900 to the afore-

mentioned $20,000.

Although the Census collects income in a series of categories, our tables show the largest four: earnings,

social security, supplemental social security, and retirement. The median household earnings in 2009 was

$29,000.

Visitors



Chapter 8 – Visitors

The Marianas Visitor Authority supplies the information on numbers of types of visitors, countries of origin,

and other characteristics. The information here is through Fiscal Year 2013. More recent information will

appear in the next yearbook or can be obtained directly from the Visitors Bureau.

About 434,000 visitors came to the CNMI in 2013. Of these, Japan provided the most visitors (148,000)

followed by Korea (135,000), U.S. and Guam (21,000), and others (129,000). The number of visitors from

China has been increasing rapidly in recent years, and that trend continues. As of 2013, Japan and Korea

visitors had been declining, as have those from the United States and Guam. Visitors from Russia were also

increasing, although their numbers remained small compared to other major Asian country senders.

The number of visitors in general decreased from 2004 until about 2011, when they started to increase again.

In recent years, numbers arriving in the second and 4th quarters have been increasing or remaining constant,

while those coming in the first and 3rd quarters have been declining. On average, between 2004 and 2013,

January saw the largest number of visitors, followed by August, while the months of April through June, and

September and October saw the lowest number of visitors.

Tables show changes in numbers of visitors for Japan, Korea, and China separately.

More recent figures are available from the Marianas Visitors Authority and will appear in the next yearbook.

CHAPTER 9

Housing



Chapter 9 – Housing

Data on housing come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Decennial Censuses and from the Marianas Housing

Authority. Trends in housing also include the 1995 CNMI Census which was conducted completely inter-

nally. Housing data are also collected in labor force and other surveys.

The CNMI had about 21,000 housing units in the 2010 census, about 16,000 (about 3 out of every 4) being

occupied. About 4,500 (about 1 in 4 of the occupied units) were owner-occupied, and about 12,000 were

rented. The average unit had 3.3 people, about 4.2 for owner-occupied units, and about 2.9 for renter units.

All three islands had similar distributions.

While the number of units increased between 2000 and 2010, the percentage being vacant increased more

rapidly. In 2000, about 20 percent of the units were vacant, but that increased to about 23 percent in 2010.

The percent vacant increased on Saipan and Rota, but decreased on Tinian. The average size of population

in units decreased from 3.7 to 3.3, with owner-occupied units decreasing from 4.9 to 4.2 and rental units from

3.0 to 2.9, so little change for rentals.

The percentage of single family, unattached unites decreased over the decades, from 85 percent in 1980 to

about half in 2000, and then to 43 percent in 2010. The percentage of housing units that were in building of

20 or more apartments increased from less than 1 percent in 1980 to 9 percent in 2010. In 2010, about 42

percent of Saipan’s units were unattached single-family units, compared to 67 percent on Rota and 57 percent

on Tinian. The numbers of multi-family units increased for all three islands between 1990 and 2010.

The largest number of units were built during the 1990s, with about equal numbers built in the 1980s and

2000s, about half as many as during the 1990s. About 3 in every 4 householders moved into their units

during the 2000s.

The percentage of units with concrete walls increased from about 66 percent in 1980 to 83 percent in 2010,

and units rebuilt after typhoons under FEMA and other funding were more likely to be stronger. The per-

centage with wood walls decreased from 14 percent to 8 percent and the percentage with metal walls de-

creased from 20 percent to 8 percent. The percentage of units with concrete roofs increased from 48 percent

to 56 percent between 1980 and 2010, while the percent with metal roofs decreased from about 50 percent to

36 percent. Almost all of the units had concrete foundations.

The median number of rooms in 2010 was 3.3, with a slightly higher number – 3.7 – on Rota. The number

of rooms increased from 2000, from 2.9 to 3.3, and on Saipan and Tinian, from 2.7 to 3.3. However, in 1990

and 1995 the average unit had more than 4 rooms, so increased population saw decreasing numbers of rooms.

The percentage of one-room units was 22 percent in 2000 before decreasing to 10 percent in 2010. About

14 percent of the units in 2010, down from about 29 percent in 2010, had more than 1.5 people per room, a



sign of crowding. In 2010, about 1 in 4 units had exactly one bedroom, slightly less than those with two

bedrooms, but more than those with 3 or more bedrooms.

In 2010, 14 percent of the units did not have complete plumbing facilities (hot and cold running water, toilet,

and tub or shower), with Rota at 7 percent but Tinian at 17 percent. These numbers are high because many

people don’t feel hot water is needed, and heating water is very expensive. The percentage without complete

plumbing decreased from 17 percent in 2000.

About 27 percent of the units did not have complete kitchen facilities (sink, stove, and refrigerator), 26 per-

cent on Saipan, 33 percent on Rota and 32 percent on Tinian. The percent without complete kitchen facilities

actually increased from 25 percent in 2000, with all of the increase on Saipan – both Rota and Tinian saw

decreases from about 36 percent in 2000.

And 27 percent of the units did not have air conditioning, 25 percent on Saipan, 44 percent on Rota and 38

percent on Tinian. The cost of electricity makes air conditioning prohibitively expensive for many house-

holds. The percent without air conditioning decreased from the 32 percent in 2000, with all islands seeing

decreases.

The percentage of units using a public system only for source of water increased from 63 percent in 1990 to

79 percent in 2010, while the percent using the public system as well as catchments decreased from 26 percent

in 1990 to 19 percent in 2010. Because of frequent droughts and water shortages, many housing units con-

tinue to have water catchments to supplement the public system. The percentage having catchments only

decreased from about 3 percent in 1990 to less than 1 percent in 2010. Almost all units on Rota and Tinian

were attached to the public system only.

About 53 percent of the units in 2010 were attached to a public sewer, compared to about 40 percent reported

to use a septic tank. However, the large majority of the units on Rota and Tinian continued to use septic

tanks for disposal.

For communications, about 8 percent of the units in 2010 were without telephone service, about 30 percent

without a radio, and 43 percent without a computer, and about 10 percent without some access to the internet

(although that access may not have been in the home.) The percentage without phone service decreased from

39 percent in 2000, but the percentage without a battery-powered radio increased from 14 percent.

The average value of owner-occupied structures in Saipan was $124,000 in 2010 dollars. The value was

slightly higher on Saipan, and slightly lower on Rota and Tinian. About 28 percent of the owner-occupied

units had a mortgage. The monthly owner costs for those with a mortgage was about $1,000 compared to

about $250 for those without a mortgage.

The average rent paid was $324 in 2010 dollars. The rent was about $328 on Saipan, compared to $297 on

Rota and $261 on Tinian.

CHAPTER 10

Vehicles



Chapter 10 – Vehicles

The information on vehicles comes from the U.S. Census Decennial census and from the Department of

Public Safety’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

Of the 16,000 housing units in the CNMI in 2010, about 3,700 (about 1 in 4) had no vehicle. About 1,200

(about 1 in 12) had 3 or more vehicles. In 1995, about 1 in 10 of the housing units had no vehicle, but in

2000, this ratio changed to about the same 1 in 4 as in 2010. The number of units with 3 or more vehicles

remained about the same in 1995 and 2000 and then increased by about 200 in 2010.

The numbers of vehicles and their characteristics in the CNMI are collected annually, but have not been

passed to yearbook since 2004. The CNMI also collects numbers of taxicabs and landline phone lines but

those also have been reported recently.

CHAPTER 11

Trade



Chapter 11 – Trade

Information on trade statistics comes from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Economic Census taken every 5 years.

The number of establishments in the CNMI increased from 800 in 1987 to more than 1,300 in 2012. The

biggest increase was between 1987 and 1992 because of the rise of the garment factories and other businesses

associated with those factories. Sales increased from about $400 million in 1987 to about $2 billion in 1997

before decreasing to about $1.3 billion in 2007 and continuing at that level in 2012. The annual payroll

increased from about $57 million in 1987 to $381 million in 2002 before decreasing to about $200 million in

2012. And the number of paid employees was less than 10,000 in 1987, but doubled in 5 years, and went up

about the same amount again in 1997. The number of paid employees peaked in 2002 at about 33,000 before

decreasing to about 14,000 in 2012.

In the 2012 Economic census, service industries had by far the largest number of employees at about 9,600,

followed by retail trade (2,500), construction (820), wholesale trade (720), and finally manufacturing (590).

This last was somewhat astounding. The number in manufacturing in 1987 was 2,300, but increased to 6,300

in 1992, and then 13,700 in 1997. The number peaked at 17,000 in 2002, and then decreased rapidly to 7,100

in 2007 and the aforementioned 600 in 2012. So, manufacturing increased rapidly with the garment factories,

and then decreased to even lower levels after their departure.

In 2012, the largest number of establishments were in retail trade (284), followed by real estate (177), and

accommodations and food services (142). Retail trade highest the value of sales at $314 million, followed

by wholesale trade ($247 million), and Accommodations ($180 million). Series on distributions for selected

industries go back to 2002. More detailed industries are also presented.

The 1,068 corporations were 80 percent of all the businesses and legal organizations in the 2012 census. Of

the 1,339 establishments, 203 (15 percent) had sales and receipts of $1 million or more. Of these establish-

ments, 14 had no paid employees, 674 (about half) had 1 to 4 employees, 302 had 5 to 9 employees, 206 had

10 to 19 employees, and 143 (11 percent) had 20 employees or more. About 550 of the establishments were

reported as male-owned, 260 s female-owned, 140 as 50/50 male-female, 62 with gender unknown, and 327

with gender unreported.

The census reported 221 CNMI-born owned establishments and 135 other U.S. citizen-owned businesses, so

about 2 out of every 5 establishments. The census all showed 114 Chinese citizen businesses as well as 104

Japanese, 61 Filipino, 122 Korean, 42 dual or other citizen-owned establishments, as well as 339 citizenship

either not reported or unknown. The census also reported on the classes of consumers crossed by type of

establishment, as well as capital expenditures and depreciation charges.

The CNMI Division of Revenue and Taxation in the Department of Finance reports Business Licenses issued,

but the data here are not complete, and will be updated when newer data are available. Banking activities

are also lacking for recent years. Inbound and outbound cargo information is collected by the Commonwealth

Ports Authority, but those data are also not current.

CHAPTER 12

Agriculture and

Fishing



Chapter 12 – Agriculture and Fishing

Agriculture data used to come from the U.S. Census of Agriculture done with the Decennial census in 1980

and 1990, and then every 5 years, ending in 2007. The Agriculture Census was not collected in 2012, and it

does not look like there will be one in 2017 either. While the CNMI has farms, it does not publish annual

statistics on its products. The Division of Fish and Wildlife is responsible for collecting and publishing data

on fish and fisheries, but has not supplied data for the yearbook since 2004.

The number of farms in the CNMI increased from 299 to 346 between 1980 and 1990, but 1997 showed only

103 farms, while 2002 recorded 214 farms, and 2007 saw 256 farms. The average size of farms decreased

from about 41 acres in 1980 to 16 in 2007.

The number of livestock farms with cattle was 36 in 1990, 29 in 1997, 55 in 2002 and 63 in 2007. The

number of animals decreased from 4,500 to 1,400, partly as a result of decreases on Tinian. In 1990, CNMI

had 66 hog farms, which was about the same as in 2002 and 2007. In 2010, about 1,500 hogs were counted.

Small numbers of goats and horses were also enumerated.

The average sales from farms was about $1 million in 1990 (in 1990 dollars) and about $2.4 in 2010 (in 2010

dollars. In 2007, 106 farms sold root crops, 110 sold vegetables and melons, 115 sold fruits and nuts, 98 sold

livestock, and smaller numbers sold poultry and eggs, and fish and aquaculture products.

CHAPTER 14

Consumer Price

Index



Chapter 14 – Consumer Price Index

The consumer Price Index (CPI) measures inflation. The Central Statistics Division in the Department of

Commerce measures inflation for the CNMI. The CPI is reset to 100 after a major survey called a Household

Income and Expenditures Survey (HIES), which provides a new “market basket” as the base for changes in

the components of the CPI.

The current CPI was rebased as of 4th quarter 2008, when the total value was reset to 100. The HIES provided

weighted amounts for the various items in the total index. For Saipan, Housing and Utilities was the biggest

component, at 30 percent, followed by Transportation at 22 percent, and Food at 17 percent. Those three

made up almost 70 percent of the items.

For Saipan, the CPI increased by about 11 percent between 2008 and the 1st quarter of 2015. However, it

had increased to as much as 114 in 2012, before experiencing a kind of deflation to 2015. Food and Trans-

portation had increased 20 percent during the period, Medical Care by 30 percent, but Housing Costs re-

mained about the same, actually slightly decreasing.

The CPI for Tinian increased about 14 percent during the period, with Medical and Housing costs increasing

the fastest. And, the CPI for Rota increased by about 12 percent, with Medical and Transportation costs

increasing the most.

The weights used for each island for the CPI are included at the end of the chapter.

CHAPTER 15

Land Use



Chapter 15 – Land Use

The Marianas Public Land Authority provides information on land use in the CNMI. The data include land

areas, elevations, and distances from Saipan. The data also include land use.

Saipan is the largest island, at 46.5 square miles, followed by Tinian at 39.2 square miles, and Rota at 32.8

square miles. The highest point in the CNMI is on Agrihan, at 3,200 feet. About 5,700 of the 12,300 hectares

(about 46 percent) of the land is private lands.

Data on annual homesteads, land exchanges, permits and commercial leases is not current, and will updated

when new information becomes available.

CHAPTER 16

Insular Areas

Comparisons



Chapter 16 – Insular Areas comparisons

The United States, in addition to the District of Columbia, has 5 populated areas that are not states. Puerto

Rico and the D.C. are treated as States for statistical purposes, but the other four areas are called Insular

Areas. These are the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), the incorporated territories

of Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the unincorporated territory of American Samoa.

In 2010, The CNMI had an enumerated population of 53,883, making it the smallest of the four Insular Areas.

American Samoa’s population was 55,519 compared to the U.S. Virgin Islands 106,405 and Guam’s 159,338.

The U.S. Virgin Islands people were oldest, with a median age of 39.1 years (Half were older and half

younger), CNMI at 30.7, Guam at 29.5 and American Samoa youngest at 22.6 years. At that time the U.S.

Median Age in 2010 37.2.

Only the Virgin Islands had more females than males (the normal situation in closed populations since fe-

males tend to live longer than males). More males were present than females in CNMI, Guam, and American

Samoa because of migration trends, mostly for employment. But the median age for males in the CNMI

(34.4 years) was older than for females (32.5); the median age for females was older than males in Guam

(30.0 vs 29.0), American Samoa (23.3 vs 22.0) and the Virgin Islands (39.7 vs 38.4).

Guam had by far the largest population enrolled at various levels of education because of its largest popula-

tion, but also because of its various tertiary colleges and the University of Guam. While CNMI’s population

was only slightly less than American Samoa, it had about 50 percent fewer students. But, among adults,

CNMI had the highest percentage of high school graduates, at 82.4 percent of adults, compared to 82.1 per-

cent for American Samoa, 79.4 percent for Guam, and 68.9 percent for the Virgin Islands. The percentage

of college graduates, though, was about the same for Guam, CNMI, and the Virgin Islands, at about 1 in

every 5 adults, compared to about 1 in 10 for American Samoa.

About 72 percent of adults in the CNMI were in the labor force in 2010, the highest among the four Areas.

About equal numbers of those in Guam and the Virgin Islands were in the labor force (about 2 of every 3),

while only somewhat more than half of American Samoans were. But CNMI had the highest unemployment

rate (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau), at 11 percent. American Samoa was next, at 9 percent, followed

by the Virgin Islands (also 9 percent), and Guam (8 percent). The rates are all based on the U.S. definitions

of labor force participation – the U.N. definitions would differ somewhat. Median household incomes could

not be compared because different categories were used for the various Areas.

Because of the end of the garment factories, CNMI had the highest vacancy rate at 23 percent of all housing

units, but the Virgin Islands was at almost the same level. About 17 percent of Guam’s units were unoccupied

as were about 12 percent of American Samoa’s. But American Samoa had the highest level of “owner”

occupied units at almost 3 of 4, compared to about half of those in Guam and the Virgin Islands, but only a

little more than 1 in 4 of CNMI’s units. Conversely, the SNMI had the highest percentage of rental units.

CHAPTER 17

Freely Associated

States (FAS) Citizens

In the CNMI



Chapter 17 – Freely Associated States (FAS)

CNMI and Guam make up what the Western world calls the Mariana Islands. The Marshall Islands are at

the other end of Micronesia. The Caroline Islands, comprised of Palau and the Federated States of Micronesia

(FSM) are in the middle. Palau, FSM, and the Marshall Islands together are called the Freely Associated

States (FAS), and are linked to the United States by the Compact of Free Association (COFA).

These parts of Micronesia, except for Guam, were “independent” until the 1500s and the age of exploration.

They were claimed by Spain from the 16th through the 19th century, and then became German possessions

after the Spanish American War, and then a League of Nations Mandate under Japanese Rule from the end

of World War I through World War II. Pearl Harbor was bombed from a based in the Marshall Islands, so

the United States insisted on taking Micronesia as a strategic Trust Territory (of the Pacific Islands – TTPI)

after World War II.

The CNMI split from the rest of the TTPI in 1978, becoming a Commonwealth in 1986. About the same

time the former Districts of Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae became the FSM, and the Marshall Islands

both signed Compacts of Free Association with the United States, making them independent, at least in name.

Palau followed in 1994.

The Office of Insular Affairs (OIA), U.S. Department of the Interior, is required to report on the impact of

the Compacts of Free Association on the U.S. Insular Areas and the State of Hawaii within 5 year periods.

The first census of Micronesian migrants to the CNMI was conducted in 1993, followed by surveys in 1998

and 2003. The U.S. Census Bureau conducted snowball-method surveys in those years; in 2008 and 2013,

OIA contracted with the Census Bureau again, but the Bureau did not produce characteristics of CNMI mi-

grants in those surveys. Partly because of this, the FSM government funded its own survey of migrants to

CNMI, Guam, Hawaii, and the U.S. Mainland. The migrants were included in the Decennial Censuses, so

characteristics can be shown for FSM for 6 enumerations. Palau and RMI migrant analysis will be displayed

in future publications.

For FSM-born migrants, the numbers increased from 2,300 in 1993 to about 4,300 in 2012, so almost dou-

bling during the period. Measuring migrants in CNMI is difficult because many FSM born were in the CNMI

during TTPI times and many married and had children, and so many, while reporting as Micronesian by

ethnicity, were not included among the migrants. Also, many changed their ethnicity to “Carolinian” over

time, as shown in the previous chapter on ethnicity.

The median age of the FSM-born migrants actually decreased from 23.9 in 1993 to 16.9 in 2012, although

the median of 22.0 years in the 2010 could also be close to the real number. As migrants become established,

they bring their relatives under the visa-free entry program instituted as part of the Compacts. The 2010

census was complete throughout CNMI, the 2012 was a sample, although in the case of CNMI, it was a

random sample based on all units reporting an FSM-born householder. The median age for males in 2010

was 21.6 compared to 22.5 for females (and was 17.2 compared to 16.7 if the 2012 data are considered.

In 1993, considerably more migrant females than males were enumerated – about 88 males for every 100

females – probably because of the incipient garment factory period. The population remained predominantly

female throughout the period, ending back at 86 per 100 in 2012 (but 96 if the 2010 census is the measure).

OIA requires annual reporting from the Insular Areas on the impact of the Compact on those Areas. The

CNMI produces annual reports, and some of the tables from recent reports are included here.

CHAPTER 18

Broadband Survey



Chapter 18 – Internet Use

Under Federal funding, the CNMI’s Central Statistics Division has collected random samples of broadband

internet use in recent years. In the 2014 Broadband survey, when the sample was weighted to the 2010 census

count, about 88 percent of CNMI population had access to the internet. The percentages were similar for the

islands – 88 percent on Saipan and Rota and 85 percent on Tinian.

Young people were the most likely to use the internet – about 90 percent of those younger than 30, the same

for those 30 to 44, but decreasing to 83 percent for those 45 to 59, 70 percent for those 60 to 74 and 60 percent

for those 75 years and over.

Koreans were the most likely to use the internet, at 96 percent, followed by Filipinos and Chinese at 89

percent, Chamorros and FAS migrants at 87 percent, and Carolinians at 80 percent. All of these show high

usage of the internet and the importance of its use for communication and education in the Commonwealth.

Those speaking English at home were the most likely of language speakers to use the internet, at 92 percent,

followed by Other Asians at 88 percent, Tagalog (Filipino) speakers at 87 percent, Chamorros at 82 percent,

and Carolinian speakers at 76 percent.

In general, more educated adults were also more likely to use the internet. While less than 88 percent of

those with high school diplomas or less used the internet, about 97 percent of those with Bachelor’s degrees,

99 percent of those with some graduate work, and 94 percent of those with graduate degrees were using the

internet.

For labor force participation, about 90 percent of full-time and 84 percent of part-time workers were using the

internet. About 90 percent of more of students used the internet, while the unemployed were about 80 percent

and retired people were about 75 percent.

Chapter 19 – Historical Tables

Previous editions of the yearbook have not included many historical tables, and so this version includes

available tables from the late 19th century through most of the 20th century, up to the period being considered

in the earlier chapters showing trends in demography, social characteristics, education, employment, and

housing. The tables are made available to students and other researchers in their work.

CHAPTER 20

Chamorros in

the U.S.A.



Chapter 20 – Chamorros in the U.S.A.

Western powers divided the population of Chamorros artificially after the Spanish American War, with Guam

going to the United States, and the rest of the Marianas going to Germany, and then after World War I, to

Japan, where it remained until after World War II, when the United States took our islands as well. We

remained part of the TTPI until 1978, and became a Commonwealth in 1986. However, our kinship with

Guam as Chamorros has continued.

Chamorros have migrated to the United States since the early 1900s, first from Guam, and then only recently

from the CNMI. Many Chamorros have joined the U.S. military branches. Guam has several military bases,

and CNMI has military reserves and National Guard. And, as Chamorros have been stationed throughout the

United States, many have settled in areas near bases after leaving the Armed Forces, or in other areas. And,

the Census Bureau also counts Chamorros in the military on their military bases during the Decennial Census.

The 2010 United States census counted 88,300 people who claimed Chamorro “race” only, and another

59,500 who claimed Chamorro and at least one other race, for a total of about 148,000. Part-Chamorros are

reported through marriage, when offspring have more than one ethnicity or race from each parent. If two full

Chamorros marry, their children would normally be reported as Chamorro only.

California reported the most Chamorros, at 44,400 or about 30 percent of the total. While California is the

largest state, it is only about 10 percent of the U.S. population, so Chamorros are choosing to live in California

in more than predicted numbers, partly because of previous military assignments and continuing generations

once settled. Washington had the second largest number of Chamorros, at 14,800, and Texas was 3rd at

10,200. These 3 states constituted just less than half of all the reported full and part-Chamorros in the 2010

census. California also by far the highest number of full Chamorros, at about 24,300, again followed by

Washington and Texas.

The 2000 census showed a similar distribution, but with smaller numbers. The same three states had the

largest numbers of Chamorros reported. The count was 92,600 total Chamorros – 58,200 full Chamorros

and 34,400 part-Chamorros. While the three states were in the same order for full Chamorros, Hawaii was

3rd in part-Chamorros, at 2,600, surpassing Texas. The 1980 and 1990 census did not show Chamorros, but

instead used the term “Guamanian”, and so it is not clear how CNMI Chamorros would have reported. But

the figures for Guamanian in 1980 were 30,700 and in 1990 were 47,800. The order was the same for the

three largest states in 1990, but in 1980 Hawaii followed California and Washington.

The final tables in this series show the data in alphabetical order for the States, and also include numbers

reported as Chamorro in the CNMI and Guam.
