Moose Creek, AK population, income and ZIP codes

Moose Creek CDP is a very small community in Alaska, with 332 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #149 of 355 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 31 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 Moose Creek CDP earn a median of $86,607 a year, 10.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 7% 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 15.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Moose Creek CDP is valued at $233,900, 22.9% below the national figure and 23% below the $305,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,368 a month, 2.7% below the national figure, or roughly $16,416 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 55.2% 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not. With 332 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Moose Creek CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
