The state of Alaska saw an increase in population of 0.31% from 2023 to 2024, despite more people leaving the state than entering it.
The Alaskan population increased by about 0.3 percent from 2023 to 2024ANCHORAGE, Alaska - new data from the Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
Natural increase is the difference between the number of births and deaths. In the case of 2023 to 2024 there were 15,143 births as opposed to 3,437 deaths. That increase and a net loss of 1,163 residents to outward migration accounts for the estimated population increase of 2,274. “We’re very transient so net migration is in flux at all times in Alaska,” Howell said. “But natural increase has been a steady source of growth for us since statehood.”
Howell did note that as Alaska’s population ages, there was a 0.4% decrease in the working-age population of 18 to 64-year-olds, as well as a 0.3% decrease in children under 17.
