North Slope County, AK Property Records & Statistics

North Slope County has a median rent of $1,172, above the Alaska median of $999.50 and the national median of $840.25. Renter-occupied housing accounts for 36.55% of occupied homes, higher than the state figure of 31.67% and the national figure of 21.81%, so renting is a large part of the local housing market.

The median home value is $117,850, about half the state median of $236,500 and below the national median of $173,750. At the same time, the median property tax rate of 1.45% is roughly double the state rate of 0.71% and the national rate of 0.74%, so owners pay a high rate on comparatively low values.

The median household income is $82,979, well above the state figure of $69,538 and the national figure of $65,108. The unemployment rate of 7.58% is higher than Alaska's 4.38% and the national 2.87%.

The figures describe a county with high incomes and high rents but low home values and a heavy property tax rate, alongside unemployment above the state and national levels.

For buyers, the $117,850 median home value is low compared with state and national levels, but the 1.45% property tax rate and $1,172 median rent raise ongoing costs. A median income of $82,979 helps offset those costs, and renters make up 36.55% of occupied homes, a notable share of the market.
