Port Alexander city, AK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Port Alexander city is a very small community in Alaska, with 26 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #292 of 355 ranked by population — larger than 17% of them. The median age here is 46.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Port Alexander city earn a median of $37,917 a year, 51.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 53% below 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 11.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Port Alexander city is valued at $112,500, 62.9% below the national figure and 63% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

With 26 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Port Alexander city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Port Alexander city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography.
