Tazlina, AK population, income and ZIP codes

Tazlina CDP is a very small community in Alaska, with 377 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #143 of 355 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 41.4 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 Tazlina CDP earn a median of $120,625 a year, 53.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 48% above 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 12.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Tazlina CDP is valued at $275,000, 9.4% below the national figure and 10% below the $305,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,365 a month, 2.9% below the national figure, or roughly $16,380 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.6% 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 2.3×, 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. 71.6% 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.

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 377 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Tazlina CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
