Allakaket, AK population, income and ZIP codes

Allakaket city is a very small community in Alaska, with 173 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #200 of 355 ranked by population — larger than 43% of them. The median age here is 26.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Allakaket city earn a median of $24,688 a year, 68.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 70% below the $81,250 median for the 73 Alaska cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 54.9% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Allakaket city is valued at $102,100, 66.3% below the national figure and 67% below the $305,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 45.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 26.6 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 173 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Allakaket city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Allakaket city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
