New Stuyahok, AK population, income and ZIP codes

New Stuyahok city is a very small community in Alaska, with 466 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #133 of 355 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 30 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 New Stuyahok city earn a median of $54,167 a year, 31% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% below 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 24.4% 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 New Stuyahok city is valued at $108,000, 64.4% below the national figure and 65% below the $305,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $930 a month, 33.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,160 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.6% 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 2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 61.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

A median age of 30 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 466 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare New Stuyahok city against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
