Close to 11,000 housing units in American Samoa were recorded during the 2010 Census count, compared to just over 10,000 housing units for the 2000 census, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, who released last week more data from the 2010 census for American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Census Bureau describes a housing unit as a house, an apartment, a mobile home or trailer, a group of rooms, or a single room that is occupied, or, if vacant, is intended for occupancy as separate living quarters.
