Salamatof CDP, AK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Salamatof CDP is a small town in Alaska, with 1,201 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #67 of 355 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 39.9 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 Salamatof CDP earn a median of $73,750 a year, 6.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% 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 11.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Salamatof CDP is valued at $318,000, 4.8% above the national figure and 4% above the $305,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $680 a month, 51.6% below the national figure, or roughly $8,160 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.1% 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. 74.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
