More than half of Pohnpei’s total household incomeand nearly two-thirds of Kosrae’s came from wages & salaries. The proportion of income from subsistenceactivities is higher in Yap and Chuuk, showing that households in these states relied more on local food fortheir livelihood. Chuuk also have a higher proportion of its total income from imputed rent compared to theother states. This is largely due to most of its households being in the outer islands where all houses areowner-occupied.Division of Statistics,4 Office of Statistics, Budget & Economic Management, Overseas Development Assistance, and Compact Management
