ZIP code 99660

ZIP 99660 is a very small community in Aleutians West Census Area, Alaska, with 362 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #130 of 245 ranked by population — larger than 47% of them. 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 ZIP 99660 earn a median of $98,750 a year, 25.7% 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 24.3% 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 ZIP 99660 is valued at $107,100, 64.7% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $967 a month, 31.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,604 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.8% 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 1.1×, 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. 65.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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 362 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 99660 against its county rather than against national figures.

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.

ZIP 99660 is tabulated inside Aleutians West Census Area, Alaska, one of 7 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 245 across Alaska. This is one of the smallest tabulated ZIP areas in the state, the kind of rural route where a single subdivision or farm cluster accounts for most addresses. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 99660 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 99660 reports a median household income of $98,750, close to the $101,250 county median, and 56% above the $63,203 typical AK ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $107,100, close to the county figure and 37% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $967 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Alaska charges 0% statewide, and local governments overlapping 99660 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 99660 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
