KNOW YOUR GEOGRAPHY

How Alaska reports county-level geography

The editor uses the existing Alaska Albers projection. It preserves the Aleutian chain, northern coastline and Southeast Alaska within the same statewide geography.

A Census county equivalent is a unit for reporting county-level statistics. The directory uses official names such as Anchorage Municipality, Juneau City and Borough, and Nome Census Area.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Alaska county equivalent map questions.

How many county equivalents are in this Alaska map?

The editor contains 30 Census units. Each borough, census area, municipality or city and borough in the directory is individually selectable.

What GEOIDs should I use for Anchorage and Juneau?

Use 02020 for Anchorage Municipality and 02110 for Juneau City and Borough. Keep the leading zero when saving your CSV.

Can I color an Aleutian county equivalent with one row?

Yes. Match the official GEOID once to style the entire unit, including its multipart island geometry.

Where do I find Nome and Bethel in the directory?

Search Nome Census Area or GEOID 02180, and Bethel Census Area or GEOID 02050.

What does a high domestic migration rate mean in a small area?

It is a net count scaled to population. Check the absolute number of moves and the size of the population before comparing with Anchorage.

How do I keep Southeast Alaska and the Aleutians visible in an export?

Use a landscape frame and preview both ends of the statewide map with the legend included. The editor displays their existing projected positions.
