For each of the available place/years, the data include population estimates from the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development or (in Census years) from the US Census. For a subset consisting of 104 northern or western Alaska (Arctic/subarctic) towns and villages, the dataset also contains yearly estimates of natural increase (births minus deaths) and net migration (population minus last year's population plus natural increase). Natural increase was calculated from birth and death counts provided confidentially to researchers by the Alaska Health Analytics and Vital Records Section (HAVRS). By agreement with HAVRS, the community-level birth and death counts are not available for publication. Population, natural increase, and net migration estimates reflect ...
