Chart and table of population level and growth rate for the state of Alaska from 1950 to 2024.

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).

People have called Alaska home for at least the last 14,000 years. The data in this app reflects on the period in time only since 1880, when the United States began collecting population data. Census data is collected every 10 years. The data available from 2011 to the present represent the DCCED Certified Population counts for those years, which the State of Alaska recommend as the authoritative population count.A data value of zero for a particular year or decade can mean that no data is available, not that there was no one living there at the time. Occasionally, changes in census tract boundaries also result in what appears to be jumps in population size for a community. To see these changes, examine the layers under the 'Census Population Count' group in the Layer List.

The Alaska Demographics application provides a place to watch Alaska's population change over time, and dig in deeper to evaluate Alaska's population at specific points in time and space.

In 2022, about 733,583 people were living in Alaska. This is a slight decrease from the previous year, when around 734,182 people lived in the state. In 1960, the resident population of Alaska was about 226,000 people.

Graph and download economic data for Resident Population in Anchorage Borough/municipality, AK (AKANCH0POP) from 1970 to 2024 about Anchorage Borough/Municipality, AK; Anchorage; AK; residents; population; and USA.

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 dataset contains 19 variables: placename Place name (string) placenum Place name (numeric) placefips Place FIPS code year Year borough Borough name boroughfips Borough FIPS code latitude Latitude (decimal, - denotes S) longitude Longitude (decimal, - denotes W) town Village {0:pop2020<2,000} or town {1:pop2020>2,000} village104 104 selected Arctic/rural communities {0,1} arctic43 43 Arctic communities {0,1}, Hamilton et al. 2016 north37 37 Northern Alaska communities {0,1), Hamilton et al. 2016 pop Population (2022 data) cpopP Change in population, percent natinc Natural increase: births-deaths natincP Natural increase, percent netmig Net migration estimate netmigP Net migration, percent nipop Population without migration Three of these variables flag particular subsets of communities. 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.

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or equivalent entity, and were defined by local participants as part of the 2020 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program. The Census Bureau delineated the census tracts in situations where no local participant existed or where all the potential participants declined to participate. The primary purpose of census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the presentation of census data and comparison back to previous decennial censuses. Census tracts generally have a population size between 1,200 and 8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people. When first delineated, census tracts were designed to be homogeneous with respect to population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions. The spatial size of census tracts varies widely depending on the density of settlement. Physical changes in street patterns caused by highway construction, new development, and so forth, may require boundary revisions. In addition, census tracts occasionally are split due to population growth, or combined as a result of substantial population decline. Census tract boundaries generally follow visible and identifiable features. They may follow legal boundaries such as minor civil division (MCD) or incorporated place boundaries in some States and situations to allow for census tract-to-governmental unit relationships where the governmental boundaries tend to remain unchanged between censuses. State and county boundaries always are census tract boundaries in the standard census geographic hierarchy. In a few rare instances, a census tract may consist of noncontiguous areas. These noncontiguous areas may occur where the census tracts are coextensive with all or parts of legal entities that are themselves noncontiguous. For the 2010 Census, the census tract code range of 9400 through 9499 was enforced for census tracts that include a majority American Indian population according to Census 2000 data and/or their area was primarily covered by federally recognized American Indian reservations and/or off-reservation trust lands; the code range 9800 through 9899 was enforced for those census tracts that contained little or no population and represented a relatively large special land use area such as a National Park, military installation, or a business/industrial park; and the code range 9900 through 9998 was enforced for those census tracts that contained only water area, no land area.
