Goldstream CDP, AK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Goldstream CDP is a small town in Alaska, with 3,238 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #36 of 355 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 44.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Goldstream CDP earn a median of $92,604 a year, 17.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 14% above the $81,250 median for the 73 Alaska cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 6.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Goldstream CDP is valued at $289,600, 4.5% below the national figure and 5% below the $305,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $768 a month, 45.4% below the national figure, or roughly $9,216 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 78.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
