Abstract: Abstract With a population of 670,053 people, Alaska was the fourth least populous state in the United States in 2006. From 2000 to 2006 the state’s population increased by 43,121 people, and is projected to increase to 820,881 by 2025. This 1.1% projected annual growth rate compares to the projected national average of 0.8%. The state’s 2006 per capita personal income of $38,622 was higher compared to $36,636 in 2005 and fourteenth highest in the United States, some $1,993 above the national average. Per capita income in Alaska grew at an average annual rate of 4.3% from 2000 to 2006, compared to 3.5% nationally.
