Renter-occupied housing accounts for 20.98% of occupied homes, below both the state figure of 31.67% and the national figure of 21.81%, so most households in the county own their homes.
The median home value is $234,500, just under the state median of $236,500 and well above the national median of $173,750. The median property tax rate of 1.02% is higher than the state rate of 0.71% and the national rate of 0.74%, so owners here pay a heavier tax rate on a similar home value to the Alaska median.
The median household income is $65,112, slightly above the national figure of $65,108 and below the state figure of $69,538. The unemployment rate of 4.42% is close to Alaska's 4.38% and higher than the national 2.87%.
Overall, the figures describe a largely owner-occupied county with home values near the state level, higher property taxes, and incomes and employment that track the state and national averages.
For buyers, the $234,500 median home value and $1,072 median rent suggest a market that is not cheap by national standards, and the 1.02% property tax rate adds to ownership costs. With a median income of $65,112 and unemployment of 4.42%, many households are positioned to buy, which is consistent with only 20.98% of homes being rented.
