Coffman Cove city, AK in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Coffman Cove city is a very small community in Alaska, with 249 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #169 of 355 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 38.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Coffman Cove city earn a median of $60,417 a year, 23.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% below the $81,250 median for the 73 Alaska cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 15.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Coffman Cove city is valued at $256,300, 15.5% below the national figure and 16% below the $305,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 92.2% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
With 249 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Coffman Cove city against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Coffman Cove 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.
