Median Age by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Alaska

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Interior and western Alaska zip codes tend to skew younger, with several areas in the dark blue range (median ages near 20–30), particularly in remote rural communities likely corresponding to Indigenous villages with younger demographic profiles. The Anchorage metro area and Matanuska-Susitna Valley display moderate median ages in the 35–45 range, while scattered zip codes along the eastern border and in parts of the Kenai Peninsula register the highest median ages (55–60+), suggesting concentrations of older or retirement-age populations. The southeast panhandle presents a mixed pattern, with communities ranging from notably young (purple) to moderately older (green), reflecting the demographic diversity across that region's isolated coastal towns.
