Alaska by borough: Census 2020–2024

Every adult in Alaska, as the Census counts them, borough by borough and census area by census area, grouped by metro area. Each person is a real combination of traits from the Census's anonymised person records, weighted so every place matches its published tables. No party lean: Alaska's 2024 returns come by state house district, which do not line up with its boroughs.

How close the people land on the Census

Each county's records are weighted until they match its American Community Survey tables. The figure is the worst county's largest gap on each table, in percentage points.

Table	Worst county
Sex by age	0.4
Race and ethnicity	0.5
Education	0.4
Household income	0.5
Work	0.3
Owned or rented home	0.2
Citizenship	0.0

A check left out of the fit: veterans

Veteran status was not used in weighting, so it shows how well the weighted people carry traits nobody fitted. Per county, the share of veterans among civilian adults lands a median 2.1 points from the Census's own figure; 95% of counties within 3.9, the worst 7.7.

What drawing a population adds

A population is a sample of these weighted people, so small counties vary from draw to draw. Largest gap per county between the people drawn and the county's records, counties with at least 30 people.
