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.

Analysis of ‘Northeast muskox population sex and age composition summary for all areas (26A+B and 26C (Arctic NWR) in Alaska and northern Yukon), 1972-2011’ provided by Analyst-2 (analyst-2.ai), based on source dataset retrieved from https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/b38d1288-8483-4429-85ef-834fe7e1c2cb on 26 January 2022.

--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---

During June, we perform ground-based composition counts to estimate calf production, recruitment, and adult sex ratio. We have radiocollared over 100 muskoxen in order to document seasonal shifts in distribution and habitat use, and to estimate survival and cause-specific mortality.

Following the 1969 release, muskoxen increased rapidly in the Arctic Refuge, reaching a peak of approximately 400 individuals in 1986. This was followed by expansion of the population’s range into contiguous areas of north-central Alaska and northwestern Canada. We subsequently implemented cooperative surveys with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG), Parks Canada, and Yukon Department of Environment to monitor the entire population. The number of muskoxen within the Refuge declined slightly, and then remained stable at about 325 from 1987 to 1998.

We observed a precipitous decline in abundance of muskoxen within the Arctic Refuge beginning in 1999. In 2003, we estimated that fewer than 50 muskoxen occurred within Refuge boundaries. We attribute this decline to shifts in distribution, low calf recruitment, and decreased adult survival. In a recent cooperative study with ADFG (Reynolds et al. 2002), we determined that predation by grizzly bears was a significant and increasing source of mortality for muskoxen. The negative effect of predation on survival may be exacerbated by environmental conditions that limit access to forage, such as icing events and deep, persistent snows. We are continuing to monitor the status of this muskox population and investigate factors responsible for observed trends.

description: Polar bear harvests in Alaska coastal villages from November 1980 to April 1982. Hunters from 13 villages killed polar bears during this period. The documented minimum polar bear harvest for 1980/81 and 1981/82 hunting seasons were 106 and 90, respectively. A minimum of 21 bears were harvested from January 1 to July 30, 1980 (ADF&G records) and have been included in the pooled sample of 217 killed bears. Of this total, 134 (61.8%) were bears for which complete sex and age information was obtained; 52 (23.9%) were bears for which adequate sex and/or age class information was obtained; and 31 (14.3%) were bears known to have been killed for which sex and age information was unknown. The sample of 134 known sex and age bears consisted of 27 percent litter members (cubs, yearlings, or 2-year olds), 31 percent females greater than 3 years of age, and 42 percent males greater than 3 years of age. The sex ratio was 81 (60.4%) males to 53 (39.6%) females. The sex ratio of bears captured from 1967-76 in a tagging study (Lentfer, 1977) was significantly different. The mean age of males and females was 7.3! 4.8 years. Male mean age was 5.8 3.9 years and female was 9.0 5.4 years. A significant inverse relationship was determined for harvested female cubs less than 3 years, female subadults, 4-5 years, and females age 6-10. A significant positive relationship was determined for harvested females 10 years or older, subadult males, and adult males 6 years or older. From January 1980 to April 1982 an average annual removal of 38 females occurred. This figure excluded 31 unknown sex and age bears. If the percentage of adult females of known sex and age bears is applied to the 31 excluded bears then the average annual female removal was 44 bears. Polar bears were harvested during each month of the year except September. Of 197 bears sampled, 123 (62.4%) were harvested during November, December, and January. Forty-five bears (22.8%) were harvested in October and November, primarily in the North Slope villages. Recent harvest chronology differs markedly from that of the sports hunting era when most bears were taken from February through April. Of the 124 hunters who killed 217 polar bear during 1980-82, 37 (29.8%) killed more than one bear; of these, 27 (73.8%) killed more than 2 bears. Snowmachines (89.5%) were the most common hunting transportation form used, small boats (6.8%) ranked second and other means accounted for the remainder of the harvest.; abstract: Polar bear harvests in Alaska coastal villages from November 1980 to April 1982.

Rates of syphilis in the United States are higher among men than women. This is true for every race and ethnicity, although the difference varies greatly. For example, among the Black population, there were around 62.3 cases of syphilis among men per 100,000 population in 2023 and only 18.8 cases per 100,000 population among women. On the other hand, rates of syphilis among American Indians/Alaska Natives were similarly high for both men and women with rates of 63.6 and 52.9 per 100,000 population, respectively. What is syphilis? Syphilis is a common and treatable sexually transmitted disease (STD). Anyone who is sexually active can contract syphilis, however men who have sex with only men accounted for slightly more cases than other groups in 2022. There are four stages of syphilis, and each stage has different signs and symptoms. The stages are primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary. Syphilis can be cured with antibiotics. How many people get syphilis each year? In 2022, there were around 207,255 cases of syphilis in the United States. This was the highest number of cases recorded since the 1950s. In comparison, in the year 2000, there were only around 31,618 cases. Like chlamydia and gonorrhea, rates of syphilis in the United States have increased over the past couple decades reaching 62 per 100,000 population in 2022. However, this rate is still far below the rate of 146 cases per 100,000 population recorded in 1950. Rates of syphilis in the U.S. are highest among people in their twenties and early thirties.

The suicide rate among females in the United States is highest for those aged 45 to 64 years and lowest among girls aged 10 to 14 and elderly women 75 and over. Although the suicide rate among women remains over three times lower than that of men, rates of suicide among women have gradually increased over the past couple decades. Suicide among women in the United States In 2021, there were around six suicide deaths per 100,000 women in the United States. In comparison, the rate of suicide among women in the year 2000 was about four per 100,000. Suicide rates among women are by far the highest among American Indians or Alaska Natives and lowest among Hispanic and Black or African American women. Although firearms are involved in the highest share of suicide deaths among both men and women, they account for a much smaller share among women. In 2020, the firearm suicide rate among women was 1.8 per 100,000 population, while the rates of suicide for suffocation and poisoning were 1.7 and 1.5 per 100,000, respectively. Suicidal ideation among women Although not everyone who experiences suicidal ideation, or suicidal thoughts, will attempt suicide, suicidal thoughts are a risk factor for suicide. In 2022, just over five percent of women in the United States reported having serious thoughts of suicide in the past year. Suicidal thoughts are more common among women than men even though men have much higher rates of death from suicide than women. This is because men are more likely to use more lethal methods of suicide such as firearms. Women who suffer from substance use disorder are significantly more likely to have serious thoughts of suicide than women without substance use disorder.

The dataset tabulates the data for the Petersburg, AK population pyramid, which represents the Petersburg population distribution across age and gender, using estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates. It lists the male and female population for each age group, along with the total population for those age groups. Higher numbers at the bottom of the table suggest population growth, whereas higher numbers at the top indicate declining birth rates. Furthermore, the dataset can be utilized to understand the youth dependency ratio, old-age dependency ratio, total dependency ratio, and potential support ratio.
