Fox River, AK population, income and ZIP codes

Fox River CDP is a very small community in Alaska, with 605 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #111 of 355 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 22.1 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 Fox River CDP earn a median of $75,083 a year, 4.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% 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 32.7% 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 Fox River CDP is valued at $291,700, 3.9% below the national figure and 4% below the $305,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 90.9% 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.

A median age of 22.1 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 605 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Fox River CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Fox River 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.
