h'man... where you live you're closer to the mega population problem. Sea level rising, another big Tsunami, or Del Toro's big old monsters and robots would put paid to most of the urban population on the Island. Not to mention you're also in the tropical disease factory zone. And of course you're in the 'second world'... things look different from closer to the ground.
I'm more speaking at a meta level... Bad Stuff can always happen. First World nations are not replenishing their populations. Second World are hanging in there. Third world... mucho babies.

Interesting list. Looks like there are a lot of Virgins in the US Virgin Islands (growth rate -0.51 )
