Fishhook CDP, AK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Fishhook CDP is a mid-size town in Alaska, with 5,461 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #24 of 355 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 39.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Fishhook CDP earn a median of $101,518 a year, 29.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 25% above 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 8.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fishhook CDP is valued at $361,900, 19.3% above the national figure and 19% above the $305,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,784 a month, 26.9% above the national figure, or roughly $21,408 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85.3% 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.
