How Saint Vincent and the Grenadines goes online

Kingstown's news has a habit of arriving through Facebook before the official statement is drafted. That matters during hurricane season, when a warning, a road closure or a shelter notice can spread through shares and WhatsApp forwards faster than any broadcast. Local news sites are read closely for the detail. Bank apps handle bills and transfers, and remittances from relatives abroad are part of most household budgets. After the volcano erupted in 2021, the same networks carried evacuation notices and then months of recovery updates.

Around 72.7%. With a population of about 110 thousand and 80 thousand online, roughly 30 thousand people are still offline — mostly because of rural coverage, device cost and age.
