Alaska Lowest Income Gap Despite Harsh Climate and Big Size
Alaska has the smallest income disparity of any state per 2000 census data. The Gini coefficient sits around 40, with a median household income near $51,571 in 1999. The Alaska permanent dividend, oil royalties, government jobs, and younger state age help level wealth, while rural areas still face poverty and higher living costs.
