In 2023, 13.5 percent of Alaska residents were American Indian or Alaska Native. A further 59.6 percent of Alaska residents were white, and 14.1 percent were of two or more races in that same year.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Alaska by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for Alaska. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Alaska by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in Alaska. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for Alaska.

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.

A dataset listing Alaska cities by population for 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).

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.

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.

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.

In 2021, 14 percent of the total population of Alaska was uninsured. The largest part of Alaska's population was insured through employers. This statistic depicts the health insurance status distribution of the total population of Alaska in 2021.

The 2023 cartographic boundary shapefiles are simplified representations of selected geographic areas from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). These boundary files are specifically designed for small-scale thematic mapping. When possible, generalization is performed with the intent to maintain the hierarchical relationships among geographies and to maintain the alignment of geographies within a file set for a given year. Geographic areas may not align with the same areas from another year. Some geographies are available as nation-based files while others are available only as state-based files.

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

Alaska had the highest male to female ratio in the United States in 2020, with 109.2 men for every 100 women. The male to female ration was lowest in the District of Columbia, with 90.3 men for every 100 women.

The final frontier

Alaska, which was purchased from the Russian Empire in 1867, is the largest state in the U.S. and one of the newest states, having been admitted to the U.S. in 1959. Although oil production dominates the economy, Alaska has a very high poverty rate and consistently has the highest unemployment rate in the country.

It’s a man’s world

Alaska is one of 10 states in the U.S. that has more men than women. The male to female ratio in the United States as a whole is about even, but as the population ages, there tend to be more females than males. Even though the sex ratio in the U.S. is almost one to one, a little more than 56 percent all females participated in the labor force in 2021, compared with 67.6 percent of men.

The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
