Guam hosts significant U.S. military presence including Andersen Air Force Base and Naval Base Guam, with ongoing military buildup including Marine relocation from Okinawa. The median household income is lower than the U.S. mainland average, with average hourly wages at $21.39 compared to $32.66 nationwide (May 2024 BLS data). Guam has among the highest cost of living in the Pacific region and is vulnerable to typhoons and seismic activity, having received over $1.3 billion in federal typhoon recovery funds since 1997. Tourism is recovering from pandemic impacts, reaching 782,840 arrivals in 2025 (up 5.8% from 2024) but still below pre-pandemic levels.
