U.S. Decennial Census[3]

Holikachuk first appeared on the 1890 U.S. Census as the unincorporated community of "Holikitsak." It next appeared on the 1940 U.S. Census as "Holocachaket." In 1950 and 1960, it returned as Holikachuk. Owing to its abandonment in the 1960s, it has not appeared on the census since.
