In fact, the city is home to almost 40% of the entire population in Alaska.
For this reason, there is little surprise the widest selection of available housing exists in Anchorage.
It’s a good place to exist for military families since Anchorage has received the All-America City Award 4x.
In 2010, the following military installations combined to form Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson:
- Fort Richardson
- Elmendorf AFB
Military families at the joint base can find affordable housing in Anchorage and the surrounding communities.
Alaska BAH is distributed each month to service members.
