Anchorage metropolitan area

The Anchorage Metropolitan Statistical Area , as defined by the United States Census Bureau, is an area consisting of the Municipality of Anchorage and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough in the south central region of Alaska.[1]

Location of the Anchorage Metropolitan Statistical Area within the State of Alaska.

As of the 2010 census, the metropolitan statistical area (MSA) had a population of 380,821.[2] However, 2016 population estimates increase that number to more than 400,000.[3] This is a census definition only, and many of the settlements considered within the metropolitan area are in fact quite distant from the city center and may be very small and isolated, for example Lake Louise is about 170 miles (270 km) from Anchorage proper and has less than 50 year round residents.
