St. George, AK population, income and ZIP codes

St. George city is a very small community in Alaska, with 59 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #263 of 355 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 34.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 St. George city earn a median of $108,750 a year, 38.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 34% above the $81,250 median for the 73 Alaska cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 40.7% 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 St. George city is valued at $85,000, 72% below the national figure and 72% below the $305,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 0.8×, 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. 90% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.

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 59 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare St. George city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for St. George city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
