Larsen Bay sits on the western shore of Kodiak Island, one of Alaska's most isolated communities. The population of 34 makes this one of the smallest tribal communities in the state, where 79% of residents are Native American. The post office serves as the only address-based delivery option for the area.
The geography tells the story of isolation. Larsen Bay covers 17.8 square miles of land but sits adjacent to 75.4 square miles of water. There's no road connection to other Kodiak communities. Mail arrives by plane or ferry, making the post office the lifeline for 29 occupied households. One street route serves 3rd Street, but most residents rely on the post office for mail pickup.
Extended family households are common here. With 34 people in 29 homes, the ratio stays close to 1.2 people per household, typical for Alaska Native fishing villages where multiple generations often live together. The median age of 46.5 reflects a community that has retained its younger working-age population despite the challenges of remote living.
The economy revolves around commercial fishing. Eight businesses employ 23 people in this community of 34. That's an unusually high employment concentration for such a small population. The median household income of $44,375 reflects seasonal fishing earnings. During winter months when boats aren't running, the post office becomes one of the few public gathering points in town.
With just a single street in the postal database, Larsen Bay's infrastructure reflects its status as a tiny fishing village. The presence of 3rd Street suggests there may be 1st and 2nd Streets as well, but they don't appear in delivery records. Most residents get mail directly from the post office rather than through street delivery.
ZIP Code 99624 has 34 residents and 29 households (average 1.17 persons per household). The median age is 46.5 years, significantly older than the state (35.6) and significantly older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 44.1% male and 55.9% female, which is much lower than the state male share (52.0%), making this a female-majority area. Largest groups are American Indian & Alaska Native (79.4%, much higher than the state average of 15.2% and well above the national average of 1.1%) and White (14.7%, much lower than the state average of 59.4% and well below the national average of 61.6%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 0.0%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%), and American Indian & Alaska Native share is much higher than both the state (15.2%) and national averages (1.1%).
