Your objective semi-troll
Not sure about racial makeup as far as updated stats but 70% minimum will be the Latin Americans themselves. Money wise though, they use the US dollar but things are much cheaper. My fiance's uncle made the move from here to Ecuador last year. Dude does not plan to come back (only for our wedding next month and then he's gone.) Pictures he sent were

My homeboys who are jamaican all tell me Kingston was dangerous. Things have been changing in recent years but still not safe to wander around in most parts. Is that an accurate statement?

Santa Cruz and Mandeville have always been low cost with friendly people, plus they got some nice women around that way too.

Im from Ja (Clarendon) and I have fam in Westmoreland, St Elizabeth, Mandeville, Spanish Town and Kingston. I hope to move back but I would only consider Mandeville cause thats were my girl is from. The plan I had was to stay in contact with fam down there and have a car shipped down eventually but I was told to just buy a car down there and build my own house on the land my fam owns. If you aint from there I dont suggest moving there, the culture shock and safety is concerning
What type of culture shock are you guys talking about? But OP, why not somewhere like Brazil or Costa Rica?
It's going to be culture shock unless your willing to accept things for what they are
A lot of Americans come down, adapt and integrate and are more Jamaican than some of those who left the country 10, 20 years ago and aint been back since 
Cost of living can essentially be the same as any North American city, but it can be cheaper as well, it really depends on how you living.
Take $1500 as a starting point. You will be able to live in a nice part of the city if you willing to shell out $550-$800 for rent. Then by the time you add in a car payment $300/month for a 2010 car
you have whatever else for food, bills and entertainment. That isn't much, especially if you spending so much on rent. However you have more to spend, then 
if all else fail, move to the country, cheaper living, less noise, pollution, crime etc etc
