Alaska's Data
Alaska is the largest U.S. state by area and was admitted as the 49th state in 1959. It is located in the far northwest of North America and is separated from the contiguous U.S. It spans a vast 570,641 square miles of land, larger than Texas, California, and Montana combined. The capital city is Juneau, though Anchorage is the most populous city. Despite its size, Alaska’s population is just ~740,000, making it one of the least densely populated areas (about 1.3 people per sq mi). Alaska’s economy is driven by natural resources: notably petroleum, natural gas, fishing, and forestry. The state contains rich oil fields (e.g. Prudhoe Bay) that have historically contributed heavily to its GDP. Tourism is also significant, with visitors drawn to its dramatic mountains, glaciers, and wildlife. Alaska’s nominal GDP is relatively small (around $70 billion in 2024), reflecting its small population and specialized industries. Culturally, Alaska has a significant indigenous heritage (Inupiat, Yup’ik, Aleut, Tlingit, Haida, and others) and a frontier ethos due to its remote wilderness.

Alaska's Economy
Alaska Inflation
Understanding the BLS and Inflation in Alaska
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is a government agency that collects and analyzes economic data across the U.S., including states like Alaska. One of its key responsibilities is tracking inflation through the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures how the cost of everyday goods and services changes over time. Inflation can impact everything from housing prices to the cost of groceries, gas, and utilities across the area. By tracking inflation, the BLS helps people from Alaska understand how their purchasing power is affected and provides insights for businesses and policymakers.
What This Graph Represents
This graph shows inflation trends in Alaska using the CPI, highlighting how prices have changed over time. The x-axis represents time (months and years), while the y-axis represents price levels. If the graph moves upward, it means the cost of living is rising, which can affect everything from rent to gas prices. A flatter or downward trend suggests that inflation is stabilizing or decreasing. Keeping an eye on inflation is important for people from Alaska when budgeting for housing, wages, and daily expenses.
