The average income in the State of Alaska is $71,000/yr. The average income of someone living in Anchorage is $81,000/yr. It is very expensive to live in Alaska so please don't even think about moving up unless you have a job waiting for you or A LOT of money in your bank account. The winters are long and it's not so much the cold that will bother you, it's the few daylight hours in the winter. Seasonal Affective Disorder caused by the lack of daylight can cause you to be very depressed. It is also not a great place for retirement unless you are a snowbird. If you are retired, one important consideration is that there are very few doctors who take Medicare in Alaska so you will need a very good supplemental insurance policy if you are retired. I lived in Alaska my entire life and I left when I wanted to retire. I would love to move back but the high cost of living only allows me summer visits now. Rent a place for a year before you decide to move permanently because it is expensive to leave once you are in Alaska. There is an old saying that the definition of an Alaskan Sourdough is "Sour on Alaska, and not enough dough to leave."

literally moving from pa to alaska, been to alaska many times and the people who say alaska is expensive haven’t traveled to the east coast. when your property taxes are 8k a year in pa versus 3k a year in alaska for the same size home/lot, i dontncare if milk is more expensive it’s a net positive unless you drink a lot of milk.

❤ Very informative and to the point! Thanks so much! How are the areas you spoke about such as Anchorage and the Matsu Valley bouncing back from the virus related health crisis post 2020? I guess i put the buggy before the horse! I should have asked how Alaskans were impacted by it, and was it similar in every area geographically? How about in terms of professions and vocational work? 😊

I'm an Alaskan presently living in Kodiak. I've been looking at places to move to on the mainland and as far as I can tell the most affordable places right now are the Fairbanks and Soldotna areas.

I'm doing my research to move to Alaska from Maine. Would you be able to give me an idea as to the affordability of moving to Alaska and if it would be better to move to areas like Homer Alaska or move further inland. I've been looking at moving to Wasilla, Palmer, Delta Junction, Eagle River and Fairbanks area. I'm hoping to get a job with AlaskaDOT when I get up there. Unfortunately they don't have job guarantees and can't hire anybody who is not already an Alaska resident.

Depending what you do for DOT you can live about anywhere. There are even people at some hub airports in the Bush. They also have people that work along the Dalton Highway at camps. I worked along the pipeline up there for 15 years. If you operate equipment there are oilfield jobs. I started up there in 1980. I was stationed in Brunswick 1972-1975. I have lived just north of Wasilla for all 43 years here. When I moved here there were 17,000 people in the Mat Su, there are about 110,000 now.

There's really nothing for affordable living in Alaska, and tight competition for jobs. I just got super lucky having the right relatives up here to get my job and move up, but even than, I have to keep a tight budget. I'm just a single guy so I couldn't imagine providing for a family with the cost of living up here.

I have lived in Wasilla, AK, for 5 yrs. There is no cheap place in Alaska to live. And it's getting more expensive each day. If you do your research, you'll find Alaska is not the place to retire.

@@MarthaBrookbank South Texas, the Rio Grand Valley, can you believe that. I caught the worst cold in the history of mankind. I've survived -75 wind chill factor, I learned it can actually be to cold to snow. You can't convince me there's global warming, we had our first snow in September. Even with all the chaos in Texas, I'm so ready to go back. We tried in 2020, covid put a damper on those plans.
