What is the average income on St Croix?

Median household income on St Croix runs roughly $40,000 to $48,000 a year, with median individual earnings closer to $28,000 to $33,000 based on USVI Bureau of Economic Research figures. Both numbers sit well below mainland US medians and below the level CostLiving’s moderate benchmark requires: $3,600 per person per month, or about $43,000 a year, means a single earner on the local median sits at or below the moderate threshold. The gap between local wages and import-driven prices is the main household-budget pressure on the island, which is why dual-income households and federal-government, hospital, refinery, or remote-worker income streams disproportionately fill the moderate and comfortable tiers.
