The state of Alaska is massive, it's the biggest US state by land mass and 7 times the size of the United Kingdom (a whole nation). Now I'm sure you have noticed that very few people actually live up there in the state of Alaska though, right? Well this video explains why that is, why nobody lives in the state of Alaska. Of course some folks to live in the state of Alaska (about 700,000 residents) to be more precise, and this video also looks at why nearly a million people do choose to live in the complicated and remote state of Alaska. That's not all I cover in this video of course; because to really consider why so few people live in America's largest and most Northern state; I also had to breakdown Alaska's history, economics, geography, and demographics. Because, while the state of Alaska may have a small population, especially for a state of it's consider size; I would argue that it's also perhaps "the" most interesting state in all of North America.
Thank you so much for watching my video on Alaska, to see more content on How America is Changing (one city/state/subject at a time) please subscribe to my channel Something Different Films below
As I upload new content at least every Saturday morning; focused on how geographic, economic, and demographic changes are shifting the United States (and the 50 states, 108,000 cities, and 3,033 counties that it's made-up of).
