1950 Census Shows
Alaska Gained
56,119 Since 1939
The total population of Alaska
on April 1, 1950, was 128,643, ac
cording to final figures for the
territory released by Roy V. Peel,
Director, Bureau of the Census,
Dept, of Commerce. Between 1939
and 1950, the population of the
Territory increased by 56,119 in
habitants, or 77.4 percent, over the
72,524 inhabitants enumerated in
1939.
Among the territories and pos
sessions, Alaska ranked third in
population. The 1950 population of
Alaska was almost four times as
large as its population in 1880
when it was first enumerated in
a federal census.
The urban population of Alaska
coTnprises all persons living in
places of 2,500 inhabitants or
more; the remainder of the popu
lation is classified as rural. The
1950 urban population was 34,262
persons, or 26.6 percent of the
total population. Between 1939
and 1950, the urban population erf
Alaska almost doubled in size.
Between 1939 and 1950, all of
the four Judicial Divisions in
creased in population. The most
rapid rate of growth was experi
enced in the Third Judicial Divi
sion which increased by 208.2 per
cent. The Third Division also had
the largest numerical increase.
This Division accounted for near
ly three-fourths of the population
gain of the Territory.
There were six urban places in
Alaska in 1950, as compared with
four in 1939. Juneau, the capital
city of the Territory, is no longer
the largest urban place, having
been surpassed by Anchorage,
which more than tripled in size
since 1939. The two urban places
which were added since 1939,
Eastchester and Mountain Village
are located in the outskirts of
Anchorage.
