Cooper Landing, AK population, income and ZIP codes

Cooper Landing CDP is a very small community in Alaska, with 231 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #173 of 355 ranked by population — larger than 51% of them. The median age here is 46.3 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 Cooper Landing CDP earn a median of $140,500 a year, 78.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 73% above 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cooper Landing CDP is valued at $404,500, 33.3% above the national figure and 33% above the $305,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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 231 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Cooper Landing CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Cooper Landing 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.
