About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Alaska population distribution across 18 age groups. It lists the population in each age group along with the percentage population relative of the total population for Alaska. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Alaska by age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group in Alaska.

Key observations

The largest age group in Alaska was for the group of age 30 to 34 years years with a population of 58,242 (7.94%), according to the ACS 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates. At the same time, the smallest age group in Alaska was the 85 years and over years with a population of 6,510 (0.89%).

The dataset, provided both in comma-separated values (.csv) and the more informative Stata (.dta) format, contains place/year demographic data on more than 300 rural Alaska communities annually for 1990 to 2022 -- about 10,000 place/years. For each of the available place/years, the data include population estimates from the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development or (in Census years) from the US Census. For a subset consisting of 104 northern or western Alaska (Arctic/subarctic) towns and villages, the dataset also contains yearly estimates of natural increase (births minus deaths) and net migration (population minus last year's population plus natural increase). Natural increase was calculated from birth and death counts provided confidentially to researchers by the Alaska Health Analytics and Vital Records Section (HAVRS). By agreement with HAVRS, the community-level birth and death counts are not available for publication. Population, natural increase, and net migration estimates reflect mid-year values, or change over the past fiscal rather than calendar year. For example, the natural increase value for a community in 2020 is based on births and deaths of residents from July 1, 2019 to June 31, 2020. We emphasize that all values here are best estimates, based on records of the Alaska government organizations.

The first two subsets (43 or 37 places) were analyzed in earlier publications, so the flags might be useful for replications or comparisons. The third subset (104 places) is a newer, expanded group of Arctic/subarctic towns and villages for which natural increase and net migration estimates are now available. The flag variables are: If arctic43 = 1 Subset consisting of 43 Arctic towns and villages, previously studied in three published articles: 1. Hamilton, L.C. & A.M.

This group includes most rural Arctic/subarctic communities that had reasonably complete, continuous data, and 2018 populations of at least 100 people. These data were developed by updating older work and drawing in 61 additional towns or villages, as part of the NSF-supported Arctic Village Dynamics project (OPP-1822424).

Provides time series of annual population estimates, 1990-2020, for (1) all Alaska boroughs, census areas or municipalities ("county equivalents); (2) Alaska regions; and (3) the state of Alaska. Also includes 10-year summaries of population growth rates and growth components (natural increase or net migration) for each place, covering the periods 1990-2000, 2000-2010, 2010-2020, and 2019-2020. Data have been integrated in place/year analyzable form, from tables published by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Demographic time series provide key background information relevant to sustainability and challenges of communities in rural Alaska.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Alaska population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Alaska across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2024, the population of Alaska was 740,133, a 0.49% increase year-by-year from 2023. Previously, in 2023, Alaska population was 736,510, an increase of 0.28% compared to a population of 734,442 in 2022. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2024, population of Alaska increased by 112,385. In this period, the peak population was 742,575 in the year 2016. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

The AIAN Summary File contains data on population characteristics, such as sex, age, average household size, household type, and relationship to householder. The American Indian and Alaska Native Summary File (AIANSF) contains data on population characteristics, such as sex, age, average household size, household type, and relationship to householder. The file also includes housing characteristics, such as tenure (whether a housing unit is owner-occupied or renter- occupied) and age of householder for occupied housing units. Selected aggregates and medians also are provided. A complete listing of subjects in the AIANSF is found in Chapter 3, Subject Locator. The layout of the tables in the AIANSF is similar to that in Summary File 2 (SF 2). These data are presented in 47 population tables (identified with a "PCT") and 14 housing tables (identified with an "HCT") shown down to the census tract level; and 10 population tables (identified with a "PCO") shown down to the county level, for a total of 71 tables. Each table is iterated for the total population, the total American Indian and Alaska Native population alone, the total American Indian and Alaska Native population alone or in combination, and 1,567 detailed tribes and tribal groupings. Tribes or tribal groupings are included on the iterations list if they met a threshold of at least 100 people in the 2010 Census. In addition, the presentation of AIANSF tables for any of the tribes and tribal groupings is subject to a population threshold of 100 or more people in a given geography. That is, if there are fewer than 100 people in a specific population group in a specific geographic area, their population and housing characteristics data are not available for that geographic area in the AIANSF. See Appendix H, Characteristic Iterations, for more information.

When available, the data consists of estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates.

Scope of gender :

Please note that American Community Survey asks a question about the respondents current sex, but not about gender, sexual orientation, or sex at birth. The question is intended to capture data for biological sex, not gender. Respondents are supposed to respond with the answer as either of Male or Female. Our research and this dataset mirrors the data reported as Male and Female for gender distribution analysis. No further analysis is done on the data reported from the Census Bureau.

Variables / Data Columns

• Gender: This column displays the Gender (Male / Female)
• Population: The population of the gender in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough is shown in this column.
• % of Total Population: This column displays the percentage distribution of each gender as a proportion of Matanuska-Susitna Borough total population. Please note that the sum of all percentages may not equal one due to rounding of values.
