Overview
American Samoa's gdp per capita stood at $18,017 in 2022, a rise of +$2,781 from 2021. American Samoa ranked 74th globally.
American Samoa’s GDP per capita rose from US$8,972.70 in 2002 to a record US$18,017.46 in 2022, the highest level in the 21‑year series and the country’s all‑time peak, placing it 74th globally. The trough occurred in 2006 at US$8,745.17, after which a steady upward trajectory emerged, driven by modest growth in tourism and public sector investment. By comparison, Hungary recorded US$18,428.03 and Croatia US$18,465.54 in the same year, indicating that American Samoa now competes with middle‑income economies despite its small, island‑based structure. The sustained increase reflects both improved fiscal management and external remittances, yet the modest size of the economy leaves it vulnerable to shocks in the tourism sector and climate‑related disruptions. Continued diversification and infrastructure upgrades will be critical to maintain the upward trend and narrow the gap with peer nations.
