About this data
A curated handful of American Community Survey socioeconomic indicators for Alaska: median household income, poverty rate, median gross rent, and median home value. 1-year estimates for the statewide and Anchorage headline numbers; 5-year estimates to fill in every borough/census area (most are far below the 65k-population threshold for 1-year data). This is where "how much does an Alaska household earn" and "what share of Alaskans are poor" come from.
