Projections for Alaska population 2005-2029
Resources, historical events, and human desire have combined to shape the population of Alaska. Historic demographic trends do create a reality that guides future events. However, there is no crystal ball that allows us to foretell the future. While the recent past is our best guide to the future, things never turn out quite as predicted. The large 'baby boom' population that has dominated demographics for the last 30 years is a force that will continue to influence Alaska's future.
