It is four miles southwest of Tortola, part of the British Virgin Islands. A ferry service runs hourly from St. Thomas and daily from Tortola; regular ferries also operate from Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke and Anegada. Since 1956, approximately 60% of the island is protected as Virgin Islands National Park, administered by the United States National Park Service. The economy is based on tourism. ==Overview== Currently, Saint John is 50.8 km² (19.61 sq mi) in area with a population of 4,170 (2010 census).〔 As of the 2010 U.S. Census, the total population of the US Virgin Islands territory was 106,405,〔 comprising mostly persons of Afro-Caribbean descent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2010 Census U.S. Virgin Islands, United States Census Bureau )〕〔(2010 Population Counts for the U.S. Virgin Islands ), U.S. Census Bureau.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saint John, U.S. Virgin Islands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
