Tatitlek is a small Alaska Native village on the eastern shore of Prince William Sound. Population: 90 people.

Of the 90 residents, 74 (82%) are Alaska Native, primarily members of the Tatitlek Village IRA Council, an Alutiiq community.

The community post office maintains just 4 PO Boxes for 34 households. Rural routes serve the village's two streets: Tatitlek Road and Hillside Drive. General delivery is also available, which is common for remote Alaskan communities where visitors and seasonal workers need mail access.
Housing tells a story of seasonal use and deep roots. Of the 88 housing units, only 34 are occupied year-round. Another 42 units (48%) are used seasonally, likely for subsistence fishing and hunting camps. Most housing dates from before 1939, reflecting the village's long history. Owner-occupied homes outnumber rentals by more than 4 to 1, with 28 owned and 6 rented.
The local economy centers on tribal government and village services. Of the 18 adults in the workforce, 9 work in public administration. Median household income is $61,875. The post office operates as a Community Post Office (CPO), a designation USPS uses for small, isolated communities where full post office infrastructure isn't practical.
