County cancer statistics are not published for St. Croix Island. Federal databases place 217 regulated facilities, sites and hazards inside the county, led by NPDES wastewater discharge permit (112), Air permit holder (minor source) (51), Brownfield property (12). One correctional facility operates in the county. EPA AirToxScreen estimates a lifetime cancer risk from outdoor air toxics of 10 in a million, driven mainly by formaldehyde.
