Bristol Bay Borough, AK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Bristol Bay Borough is a very small community in Alaska, with 878 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 39.3 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 Bristol Bay Borough earn a median of $100,625 a year, 28.1% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 9.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bristol Bay Borough is valued at $269,800, 11.1% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,318 a month, 6.3% below the national figure, or roughly $15,816 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.7% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 51.9% 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.

How to read this page

What these estimates cover.

Figures are five-year rolling averages from the American Community Survey, not single-year counts, so they describe conditions across 2019-2023 ACS 5-year rather than a single date. Median home value covers owner-occupied units as valued by their owners, and median gross rent includes utilities the renter pays. Small counties carry wide margins of error; treat single-dollar differences between neighbouring counties as noise.
