Central CDP, AK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Central CDP is a very small community in Alaska, with 93 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #236 of 355 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 47.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Central CDP earn a median of $19,539 a year, 75.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 76% below the $81,250 median for the 73 Alaska cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 10.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Central CDP is valued at $80,800, 73.4% below the national figure and 74% 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. 100% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 93 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Central CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Central CDP 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.
