Juneau city and borough, AK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Juneau city and borough is a small city in Alaska, with 31,969 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #3 of 355 ranked by population — larger than 99% 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 Juneau city and borough earn a median of $100,513 a year, 28% above the national figure of $78,538 and 24% 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 8.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Juneau city and borough is valued at $432,500, 42.6% above the national figure and 42% above the $305,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,462 a month, 4% above the national figure, or roughly $17,544 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.5% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 64.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
