Alaska Native History, Cultures, And Traditions Practice Test

Approximately how many people live in Anchorage?

Around 50,000 Around 290,000 Around 1,000,000 Around 100,000

Correct Answer:

Around 290,000

Explanation:

Anchorage is Alaska's largest urban center and serves as the state's main hub for transportation, commerce, and services, so its population sits in the hundreds of thousands. The best estimate is around 290,000 people, which matches recent figures and is the closest to the actual size. The other numbers don’t fit: around 50,000 or 100,000 would be far too small for a city of this role, while around 1,000,000 is far above what the city actually contains. Knowing this helps you understand why Anchorage is a major focal point in Alaska’s economy, culture, and history.
