About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Alaska by gender, including both male and female populations. This dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Alaska across both sexes and to determine which sex constitutes the majority.

Key observations

There is a slight majority of male population, with 52.28% of total population being male. Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2017-2021 5-Year Estimates.

Content

When available, the data consists of estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2017-2021 5-Year Estimates.

Scope of gender :

Please note that American Community Survey asks a question about the respondents current sex, but not about gender, sexual orientation, or sex at birth. The question is intended to capture data for biological sex, not gender. Respondents are supposed to respond with the answer as either of Male or Female. Our research and this dataset mirrors the data reported as Male and Female for gender distribution analysis. No further analysis is done on the data reported from the Census Bureau.

Variables / Data Columns

  • Gender: This column displays the Gender (Male / Female)
  • Population: The population of the gender in the Alaska is shown in this column.
  • % of Total Population: This column displays the percentage distribution of each gender as a proportion of Alaska total population. Please note that the sum of all percentages may not equal one due to rounding of values.
