2020 Census Island Areas Population and Housing Unit Counts Released Today Written by: Steven Wilson, William Koerber and Evan Brassell The combined population of the territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and the U.S. Virgin Islands was just under 339,000, according to the first results of the 2020 Island Areas Censuses released today.
