Reading this Alaska list

What the Alaska numbers actually show.

Most of what is listed for Alaska is small. 72% of the 245 ZIP codes here hold fewer than a thousand residents, while 0 carry 50,000 or more and account between them for 0% of the state's 733,346 counted people. The ranking below is really two lists stacked together: a short one of cities and a very long one of villages. These are mostly very small areas — the median ZIP code counts 458 residents. Rankings at the bottom of this list are within each other's margin of error, so treat close positions as ties.

Alaska runs cheap on housing relative to earnings: $170,800 median home value against $63,203 of household income works out to 2.7 years of gross income, against 3.9 nationally. Incomes are lower here too, so the local comparison that matters for a move is rent. Median gross rent runs $1,040 including utilities, or about 20% of median household income annually.

Incomes fan out sharply inside Alaska. Strip the outliers and the top-decile ZIP code still earns 2.79× the bottom-decile one ($101,207 against $36,250); include them and 99516 tops the list at $160,341 and 99706 anchors the bottom at $13,750. A single "Alaska average" is averaging across two different economies.

About one row in 7 is incomplete — 35 of 245 ZIP codes have a suppressed estimate, almost all of them at the small end. Five-year estimates average responses over sixty months, so what is published is a stable baseline rather than a reading of this month's market.

Questions people ask

Specific to Alaska.

How many ZIP codes does Alaska have? 245 appear in the current federal tabulation. ZIP code tabulation areas are the Census approximation of postal ZIP codes, so the count differs slightly from the number of ZIPs the Postal Service delivers to in Alaska, and PO-box-only ZIPs have no area at all.

Which Alaska row should I compare mine against? Pick ZIP codes within roughly the same population band. In a state this spread out, size drives the housing and income figures more than region does.

How current is this? Every figure comes from the American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year release published by the US Census Bureau, ACS 2019-2023 5-year estimates. It reflects the full survey window rather than a single date, and it is the most recent vintage available for ZIP codes this small.
