Internet Users: U.S. Virgin Islands

Analysis# U.S. Virgin Islands Internet Users Internet penetration in the U.S. Virgin Islands reached 64.377% of the population in 2017, matching its all-time peak. This represents a remarkable climb from zero recorded users in 1990, reflecting decades of digital infrastructure expansion across the territory. The growth trajectory accelerated significantly during the 2010s, with adoption rates climbing from 27.362% in 2008 to nearly double that figure by 2017. The period from 2010 onward shows the steepest gains, with annual increases averaging around 3–5 percentage points. Between 2015 and 2017 alone, internet users grew from 54.839% to 64.377%—a 9.5-point surge in just two years. Sustained momentum suggests the territory continues narrowing its digital divide, though the 35.6% unconnected population represents meaningful opportunity for further network expansion.
