This report describes Alaska’s projected future population, based on historical data on population size and rates of fertility, mortality, and migration. These projections are a reference to provide planners and policy makers with the possible outcomes of a series of demographic events.

It is important to note that Alaska is susceptible to many unpredictable events, and that no demographer or economist is able to foresee the future. The projections presented here are based on historical population trends and selected future scenarios.

Special acknowledgment goes to the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, the Alaska Department of Revenue, and the Alaska Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development for providing essential information for these projections. Special thanks also goes to the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services for fi nancial support during the production of these projections.

Alaska Population Projections • 2010 – 2035 5

This report presents Alaska population projections for 2010 through 2035, by age and sex. Additionally, it gives 2010 – 2035 projections for the populations of Alaska’s boroughs, census areas, and Native populations by age and sex.

Population projections are distinct from population estimates in that estimates use current and historical data to make statements about the present and past population, while projections use expected or extrapolated data to make statements about future populations. There is much uncertainty in population projections, as it is not possible to predict future events — however, projections based on reasoned assumptions are an important tool for planners and policy makers.

To create this set of population projections, the Research and Analysis Section at the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development used a “cohort component” technique. Under this approach, the population of each sex was separated into age groups and aged forward in time, adding projected births and in-migrants and subtracting projected deaths and out-migrants. The projection began with Alaska’s July 2010 population estimates and ended with the 2035 population projections. Appendix A at the end of the text provides technical details.

The “July 1” reference dates are for the full time resident population on July 1. Seasonal populations may be higher than the full time resident population.

The report begins with a description of the components of population change for Alaska, then describes the results of the statewide projections. Next, it presents the components of population change that were applied to the Alaska Native projections, and the results of the population projections for Native and non-Native Alaskans. Finally, the report gives the components of population change that were used in the borough and census area projections, and the results of those projections.

Summary of Statewide Projections

Alaska’s statewide population is projected to increase from 714,142 in 2010 to 915,211 in 2035. As Alaska’s population ages in the coming years, annual growth is expected to slow. Alaska’s population aged 65+ is expected to grow at the fastest rate over the projection period, followed by the population aged 0-17. The population aged 18-64 is projected to increase at the slowest rate. Due to the great uncertainty about growth across the period, this report presents alternate “high” and “low” scenarios.

For the statewide projections, the population was divided into single-year age groups and then projected forward one year at a time. This process was repeated three times and held mortality, fertility, and out-migration rates constant but varied net-migration.

Summary of Alaska Native Projections

Alaska’s Native population is expected to continue to grow over the projection period, from 122,480 in 2010 to 159,633 in 2035. Much like the state as a whole, Alaska Native population growth is expected to slow due to aging.

To create the Native and non-Native projections, the Native population was divided into fi ve-year age groups by sex, and then projected forward by fi ve-year intervals. Based on recent time series data and knowledge of the population, this projection used fi xed rates for mortality, fertility, and migration.

Summary of Projections for Smaller Areas

Alaska’s regions, boroughs, and census areas have grown and are projected to continue to grow at very different rates, with the fastest growth in the Anchorage/Matanuska-Susitna Region. The only region projected to lose population is the Southeast Region.

To create the borough and census area projections, the population of each area was stepped forward in fi ve-year increments, using the cohort component method. This provided population projections by fi ve-year age groups and sex. As with the Alaska Native projections, single paths were applied for each component, based on recent time series data and knowledge of the specifi ed populations.

Each borough and census area population was projected separately, with the sum of individual borough/census area projections matching closely to the “baseline” state projection at each step. A statistical fi tting procedure eliminated any discrepancies between the sum of the borough and census area projections and the state “baseline” projection, as Appendix A describes.

Introduction

As of July 1, 2010, Alaska’s total estimated population was 714,142.

There are four distinct processes, or “components,” of change that contribute to population change: fertility, mortal-ity, in-migration, and out-migration. These projections em-ployed historical data on the level and trend of each of these components of change.

This section begins with a brief description of Alaska’s recent population background, then describes Alaska’s mor-tality, fertility and migration levels and their impact on the projections for Alaska’s population. Finally, it presents the results and interpretation of the statewide projections.

Background

Since statehood in 1959, when the population stood at roughly 224,000, Alaska has grown at varying rates. As Figure 1.1 shows, both “natural increase” (the difference between births and deaths) and “net-migration” (the difference between in-migration and out-migration) have played important roles. Since statehood, natural increase has provided Alaska with steady positive growth.

In- and out-migration have been far more uncertain compo-nents of this population change, as the numbers of people moving into and out of the state have varied greatly from year to year. In certain years, net-out-migration has been strong enough to reverse annual growth trends. However, as Alaska continues to develop, future in- and out-migration levels — and consequently net-migration — are expected to shift less dramatically.

The discovery of oil in Prudhoe Bay in 1968 and the subse-quent construction of the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline in the 1970s had a massive effect on Alaska’s population, in the im-mediate term and the two decades that followed. Tens of thou-sands of workers and their dependents poured into the state for the construction of the pipeline, and many left the state at its completion. In the years that followed, Alaska would experi-ence a huge in-fl ow of migrants with new oil revenues and increased oil prices, but then a large out-fl ow of migrants when oil prices fell dramatically in 1985.

The conditions of these projections do not include any events on the scale of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. It is believed to be unlikely that Alaska will experience such a powerful occur-rence in the next 25 years. At the same time, it should be recognized that events of great magnitude do happen. The discovery at Prudhoe Bay helps to demonstrate thatmajor economic events are always possible.

Cohort Component Method

The Research and Analysis Section created this set of popula-tion projections through a “cohort component” technique. Un-der this approach, the population was separated into specifi ed age groups by sex and aged forward in time, adding projected births and in-migrants at each step while subtracting deaths and out-migrants.

Two of the distinct benefi ts of this approach are its careful disaggregation of the components of population change (births, deaths, and migration), and its production of population projec-tions by age and sex.

To estimate the impact of mortality and fertility on population change, distinct rates of mortality and fertility were applied to each age-sex group as they were aged forward in time. To estimate the impact of migration, the numbers of persons re-sulting from annual rates of in- and out-migration for the total population were applied to age-by-sex profi les. The calculated number of in-migrants was added to the respective age-sex group, and the number of out-migrants was subtracted from the respective age-sex group.1

Alternative Scenarios

Uncertainty about the future is a major factor in all population projections. Migration is the most uncertain of the compo-nents of change, so these projections include three scenarios with varying “net-migration ratios” (annual net migration divided by the mid-year population). The “baseline” projection scenario, believed to be the most likely, assumes that Alaska’s net-migration ratio will be the same it experienced from 2000 to 2010: .171 percent. The “high” projection scenario assume that Alaska’s annual net-migration ratio will be 1 percent, and the “low” scenario used an annual net-migration ratio of -.5 percent. There are no varying scenarios for the fertility and mortality rates used in these projections.

Mortality

The strength of mortality is summarized by “life expectancy at birth.” Life expectancy at birth (or period life expectancy at birth) for a given year is the average number of years that a person would live if he or she lived an entire life according to the respective year’s age-specifi c mortality rates. Though life expectancy varies greatly from group to group within Alaska, Alaska’s total life expectancy been fairly close to that of the United States as a whole.

As shown in Table 1.2, life expectancy in Alaska and the U.S. has been somewhat stable, with steady improvement over recent decades. Given the stability of mortality rates in Alaska, a single path for change was applied based on the U.S. Social Security Administration’s projected future change in U.S. mortality.

As Table 1.2 shows, the U.S. Social Security Administration projects that between 2010 and 2030, life expectancy will in-crease by 2.1 years for American men and 1.7 years for Ameri-can women. Following fi tted parameters based on this change, life expectancy in Alaska is expected to increase by 2 years for men and 1.4 years for women between 2010 and 2030.2 Over the entire projection period, 2010 to 2035, Alaska’s male life expectancy is projected to increase from 76.1 to 78.6, with female life expectancy rising from 80.5 to 82.2.

Fertility

The level of fertility is summarized by the “total fertility rate” (TFR). The TFR for a specifi c year is the average number of children that a women would have if she followed that year’s age-specifi c fertility rates throughout her lifetime. A TFR of approximately 2.1 (2.1 children per woman) is necessary for natural increase to be at replacement level. Alaska’s TFR ranks among the highest in the U.S., which allows steady growth from natural increase.

As with mortality, the Total Fertility Rate varies greatly across the state, with estimates for specifi c area TFRs ranging from as high as 4.53 in Wade Hampton to as low as 1.66 in Aleu-tians East. Based on a general trend of movement from rural to urban Alaska (where TFRs are generally lower) as well as national and global trends in fertility, the projection for Alaska used a TFR of 2.3. This was slightly lower than the average annual TFR from 2000 to 2010 — 2.39 — but is judged the most likely fertility rate for Alaska in the future. Figure 1.2 displays the fl uctuations of Alaska’s TFR in the past and how it is projected.

1Further description of the cohort component method is provided in Preston, Heuveline, and Guillot (2001).2Appendix A provides the method for fi tting the mortality parameters.

As discussed earlier, migration is the most uncertain compo-nent of population change for Alaska, and the level of migra-tion into and out of Alaska has been greatly infl uenced by distinct historical events that caused dramatic fl uctuations in net-migration. However, Alaska’s net-migration has been more stable over the past two decades.

Two values project migration for Alaska: the annual net-migra-tion ratio (net-migration divided by the mid-year population) and the annual rate of out-migration (the number of out-migrants divided by the mid-year population). The sum of the net-migration ratio and the out-migration rate is the in-migra-tion ratio (in-migration divided by the mid-year population).

Table 1.2Life Expectancy at Birth:Alaska and the United States, 1970 – 2030

Figure 1.3 shows the dramatic swings of Alaska’s net-migra-tion ratio in the past, and the three net-migration ratio paths used for the different projection scenarios. The baseline net migration ratio is nearly zero, at .171 percent. The high net-migration scenario is 1 percent and the low is -.5 percent.

The Research and Analysis Section deemed large-scale events, such as those that caused the erratic migration fl ows of the 1970s and early 1980s, unlikely in the near-term. However, unexpected events over the next 25 years will affect migration, so the section will make revisions as new information becomes available.

Components of Change

Table 1.3 displays projections of future levels of births, deaths, and net-migration. The baseline values are expected births, deaths, and net-migration with a net-migration ratio of .171 percent. The high and low projections of births, deaths, and net-migration are the projected values if the net-migration ratio for Alaska were 1 percent and -.5 percent, respectively.

The baseline and high projection scenarios show an increase in the number of births, while the low scenario projects a slight decline in numbers of births. As the projection extends out, the difference in projected number of births becomes much larger due to the accumulating difference in numbers of net-migrants.

The number of deaths in Alaska is expected to increase greatly over the projection period. With the aging of the “baby boom” generation (those born in the high fertility period from 1946 to 1964), Alaska like all states will have a much larger elderly population than in the past, which will raise the annual number of deaths. Increasing differences in expected numbers of deaths through time are due to the varying levels of migration for each of the projection scenarios.

Alaska’s Population Growth

Table 1.4 displays projections of the levels of population growth in Alaska from 2010 to 2035, and the outcomes of this growth in the projected state population.

With the expected increase in deaths relative to births, it is likely that the rate of growth will decline to some degree over the projection period. Still, putting migration aside, all three scenarios project continued natural growth.

The baseline projection produced a population for 2015 of 759,244, growing to 842,899 in 2025 and reaching 915,211 by 2035. Figure 1.4 shows the different paths projected for Alaska’s total population through 2035. With time, the dif-ferent scenarios for Alaska’s net-migration cause differences between projected populations to increase drastically.

Future Population by Age and Sex

Table 1.5 breaks down projections for Alaska’s population by age and sex. Two general qualities are apparent: (1) as the “baby boom” generation ages, Alaska’s older population will grow steadily, and (2) there is much uncertainty about the popu-lation that is yet to be born, a group that is heavily affected by migration.

The median age of Alaska’s population is project-ed to increase at a steady pace, rising from 33.8 in 2010 to 36.6 in 2035. The ratio of males per 100 females is expected to decline from 108.5 to 104.8 during the projected period.

Figures 1.5 through 1.10 show Alaska’s population pyramids for 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, and 2035.

Specifi c Age Groups

Figures 1.11 through 1.17 illustrate the pro-jected population levels for specifi ed age groups. Alaska’s population aged 0-4 is projected to increase 22 percent, from 54,293 to 66,223 people, between 2010 and 2035. As shown in Figure 1.11, due to the large impact of migration on the young-est age group, there is great variation between the projected populations of 0- to 4-year-olds.

The population aged 5-13 represents children of elementary and middle school age. The baseline projection for this group shows 28 percent growth, from 92,092 in 2010 to 117,594 in 2035. (See fi gures 1.12 and 1.13.)

This group’s numbers declined in past years, but this trend was due to the aging “echo boom” co-hort (children of the baby boom generation), and is not projected to continue.

The population aged 14-17 primarily comprises high school students. As shown in Figure 1.14, the population at these ages is projected to increase by 25 percent, from 42,025 to 52,693 people between 2010 and 2035. The size of this population was recently at a historic high point as the peak of the echo boom cohort was of high school age. As the echo boomers fi nish moving through this age group, its population is expected to decline slightly before beginning to grow again.

High Scenario

Low Scenario

Alaska’s population aged 18-24 is largely made up of recent high school graduates and college students. This age group is projected to rise from 75,292 to 85,857 people, a 14 percent increase, during the projected period. With the echo boom generation moving through these ages, the popula-tion is projected to decrease, then increase again.

Alaska’s population aged 18-64 is an approximate representation of the working-age population. The 2010 working-age population was 470,495, and is projected to be 523,319 in 2035, an 11 percent increase. As the baby boomers move into retire-ment, the echo boomers will continue moving into the working ages, yielding almost no change in the working-age population (see Figure 1.16). In the later years of the projection period, this group is projected to increase.

The population aged 65+ is largely made up of retirees. Strong growth is projected for this age group throughout the projection period, fueled by the large cohort of aging baby boomers. Alaska’s current population aged 65+ was 55,237 in 2010 and is projected to nearly triple by 2035, reaching 155,382 people — a 181 percent rise.

The large increase in the size of the population age 65+ will no doubt play a major role in shaping Alaska’s future. Alaska has historically had a relatively small old-age population, and this rise in seniors will surely present new challenges to find fund-ing and build infrastructure to support them.

Dependency

Dependency ratios show the burden of support on the working-age population in caring for the young and old, both largely nonworking populations. In 2010, every 100 Alaskans sup-ported 40 people under 18, and 11.7 persons age 65+. Both of these figures are projected to rise over the next 25 years. The youth dependency ratio is projected to rise to 41.4 in 2015 and 46 in 2025, but then decrease to 45.2 in 2035. The aged dependency ratio is expected to increase to 15.8 in 2015, then

27 in 2025, and reach 29.7 by 2035. Despite some uncertainty in these specific figures, there is little doubt that the old-age dependency ratio will increase dramatically over the next 25 years.

Introduction

This section presents population projections for Alaska’s Native (based on the Alaska “bridged” race estimates) and non-Native populations, by age and sex, from 2010 through 2035. While the Native projections include all Native Americans residing in Alaska, this group is dominated by Alaska Natives and will be referred to here as Alaska Natives.

The Alaska Native population currently represents approximately 17 percent of the state’s total population. With high fertility and relatively low rates of migration, Alaska Natives represent a source of stable population growth for the state. Given the rela-tively consistent rates of change for the Native population over time and inconsistent defi nitions of “Native” in historical data, the Research and Analysis Section decided not to create high and low scenario projections for Alaska Natives. Users should be aware, though, that these projections are based on recent rates, which will vary to some degree over time.1

Methodology

The Research and Analysis Section divided the Alaska Native pop-ulation into fi ve-year age-groups according to sex, and projected them forward in fi ve-year steps from the 2010 Alaska Native “bridged” race population estimates, using the “cohort compo-nent” method. Projected births and in-migrants were added and projected deaths and out-migrants subtracted from the appropriate age-by-sex group.

The projections for Alaska’s non-Native population are the “base-line” projection for the statewide population, minus the projected Alaska Native population. Recent statewide Alaska Native fertility and mortality data by age were used to estimate natural increase. Age specifi c migration patterns were estimated using the Alaska Native 2000, 2005, and 2010 “bridged” race estimates.

Mortality

Mortality rates for Alaska Natives are among the highest in the United States. Future life expectancy for Alaska Natives was pro-jected using model parameters based on the U.S. Social Security Administration’s projections for change in U.S. life expectancy over the projection period.

As shown in Table 1.2, between 2010 and 2030, life expectancy at birth for Alaska Natives is projected to increase by 2.4 years for males and 1.6 years for females. Across the period, life expectancy is projected to increase from 68.6 to 71.6 for males and from 73.3 to 75.3 for females.

Due to the overall aging of the population, the annual crude death

rate (number of deaths per 1,000 people) for Native Alaskans is ex-pected to increase from approximately 6.9 in 2010 (based on recent Alaska vital statistics and population estimates data) to 8.7 in 2035.

Fertility

Fertility rates for Alaska Natives are also among the highest in the nation. In 2010, the total fertility rate (TFR) — the number of children per woman in a lifetime — was 3.4 for Alaska Natives. A TFR of 3.3 is used to project Alaska Natives, as it was the mean TFR for this group from 2000 to 2010.

With the slightly lowered TFR and aging of the Alaska Native population, the annual crude birth rate (number of births per 1,000 people) is expected to decrease from 24 in 2010 to roughly 22.5 in 2035.

Migration

Rates of migration into and out of Alaska by Alaska Natives are relatively low compared to the state population as a whole. Using data from the 2000, 2005, and 2010 “bridged” race estimates, Native Alaskans had an estimated annual net-migration ratio of approximately -.5 percent (of the Alaska Native population). The migration profi le was held fi xed for the projected period.2

Overall Population Change

Alaska Natives are projected to increase steadily through 2035, from 122,480 in 2010 to 159,633 in 2035. Further, Alaska Natives are projected to slightly increase as a share of Alaska’s total popu-lation, from 17.1 percent in 2010 to 17.4 percent in 2035. Annual births and deaths for Alaska Natives are both projected to increase over the projection period; however, the numbers of births are expected to be consistently higher.

Aging

Aging will play a major role in population change for Alaska Na-tives over the projection period. The median age for the population is projected to rise from 26.7 to 30.2 between 2010 and 2035. The proportion of the Alaska Native population aged 65+ is projected to almost double between 2010 and 2035, rising from 6. 5 percent to 12.2 percent.

1Further description of the Native “bridged” estimates, the projec-tion methodology, and the methods for estimating age-by-sex spe-cifi c mortality, fertility, and migration are provided in Appendix A.2Appendix A gives description of the method used to estimate Alaska Native migration.

Introduction

This section presents population projections for Alaska’s economic regions, boroughs, and census areas by age and sex. There is a much higher degree of uncertainty with projections of less populated and smaller areas. Inter-borough migration, highly specifi c policy and economic factors, and unique historical events all play important roles.

Single projections based on recent trends are presented at the borough and census area level. Users of this data should be aware that countless unforeseen factors could sway many of the populations dramatically. The projected populations for each economic region, borough, and census area are presented by age and sex, in fi ve-year age groups from 2010 to 2035.

Methodology

For each borough and census area projection, the Research and Analysis Section divided the population into age-by-sex groups and projected them forward in fi ve-year increments from the 2010 population estimate using the “cohort component” method. Projected births and in-migrants were added and deaths and out-migrants subtracted from the appropriate age-by-sex group at each step. The projections for Alaska’s economic regions are the sums of the boroughs and census areas they cover.1

Each of the borough and census area populations was projected independently, with recent age-specifi c fertility rates used to project births, recent and projected age-by-sex specifi c mortality rates used to project deaths, and recent annual migration data (adjusted for fi ve-year intervals) and age-by-sex migration profi les used to project migration.

For some of the less populated boroughs and census areas, data are quite limited — it was necessary in certain cases to pool data from similar areas. Further, the group quarters population (population not living in households) were held constant in age, sex, and size for Aleutians East Borough, Aleutians West Census Area, and North Slope Borough. The military populations in Anchorage and Fairbanks were also held constant in age, sex, and size over the projection period.2

The sum of the individual borough and census area projections at each step matched closely to the baseline statewide projection. Any discrepancies between the baseline state projection and the sum of the borough and census area projections were eliminated with a statistical fi tting procedure.3

Births

In 2010, the crude birth rate (the number of births per 1,000 people) was 16.3 in Alaska. With the overall aging of Alaska’s population, this fi gure is projected to decline to approximately 14.5 in 2035. The crude birth rates vary greatly among the boroughs and census areas of Alaska, with the highest crude birth rates in 2010 found in Wade Hampton Census Area at 31.8, Northwest Arctic Borough at 27.7, Bethel Census Area at 26, and North Slope Borough at 25.2.

The lowest crude birth rates for 2010 were found along the Aleutian Chain and primarily in Southeast Alaska. In the Aleutians West Census Area and Aleutians East Borough, where much of the population lives in group quarters for fi shing and fi sh processing, the crude birth rates were 7.3 and 7.5, respectively. Other low rates were found in Haines Borough at 9, Bristol Bay at 10.4, and Wrangell at 10.6.

The rank-order of crude birth rates for Alaska’s boroughs and census areas is not expected to change much over the projection period. While there will certainly be changes in these values as the population composition changes over time, places with relatively high birth rates will likely remain comparatively high, and those with low birth rates will likely remain relatively low.

Deaths

In 2010, the crude death rate (the number of deaths per 1,000 people) was 5.2 in Alaska. The greatest contributing factor to this fi gure is the ratio of elderly persons to the overall population. Over time, as Alaska’s population gains a higher proportion of elderly people, this fi gure will increase.

Like crude birth rates, crude death rates vary among the boroughs and census areas. The highest crude death rates in 2010 were found in Petersburg Census Area at 9, Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area at 8.2, and Bristol Bay Borough at 8.1. Those with the lowest crude deaths rates included Aleutians East Borough at 1.8, Denali Borough at 2.3, and Aleutians West Census Area at 2.5.

As Alaska’s population ages over the projection period, there will likely be increases in the crude death rates for all of the boroughs and census areas.

1Further description of the cohort component method is provided in Preston, Heuveline, and Guillot.2Appendix A gives further description of the methods for estimating age specifi c mortality, fertility, and migration rates.3A description of iterative proportional fi tting is provided in Smith, Tayman, and Swanson (2001).

Migration

As with statewide migration, migration into and out of Alaska’s boroughs and census areas represents a highly unstable component of population change. Two values were used to project migration for Alaska’s boroughs and census areas: the annual net-migration ratio (net-migration divided by the borough or census area’s mid-year population) and the annual out-migration rate (the number of out-migrants divided by the borough or census area’s mid-year population). Both of these values were estimated annually for each borough and census area from 2000 to 2010, and used to project migration through 2035. The migrants were distributed proportionally using age-by-sex migration profiles to estimate the number of migrants for each specific age-by-sex group. The migration levels applied for the projection period broadly reflect those in recent history.

Areas with expected positive net-migration throughout the projection period include Matanuska-Susitna Borough and Kenai Peninsula Borough. Negative net-migration in the boroughs and census areas in Southeast Alaska are projected to be strong enough to outweigh growth from natural increase (births minus deaths).

Rural boroughs and census areas with high fertility rates, such as Wade Hampton Census Area, Nome Census Areas, and Northwest Arctic Borough, are projected to have high negative values for net-migration but grow continuously through natural increase.

Overall Results

The general population trends for Alaska’s economic regions include some degree of growth over the projection period for all of Alaska’s regions except Southeast. As shown in Figure 2.1, strongest growth is projected for the Anchorage/Mat-Su Region, with Matanuska-Susitna Borough’s population projected to nearly double over the projection period. Though the continuation of recent population trends yields no growth for Southeast Alaska, it is certainly possible for these trends to change over time.

No change is expected in the population rank-ordering of the regions over the projection period. The Northern and Southwest regions are projected to continue growing through high fertility rates, despite somewhat strong net losses from migration.

The boroughs/census areas with the highest levels of projected average annual growth over the period include Mat-Su Borough at 3.2 percent, Wade Hampton Census Area at 1.7 percent, and Fairbanks North Star Borough at 1.4 percent. The boroughs and census areas with the greatest levels of projected average annual population loss over the projection period are Hoonah-Angoon Census Area at -1.4 percent, Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area at -1 percent, and Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area at -.8 percent.

Introduction

This technical appendix provides information on the methods used to produce the 2010 to 2035 Alaska population projections. It fi rst presents methods used to estimate statewide mortality, fertility, and migration rates, then describes application of the estimates data to a cohort component projection model. Next, this appendix discusses methods used to project borough and census area mortality, fertility, and migration rates; and apply-ing these to a cohort component model. Finally, it explains the “bridged” race estimates and the methods for projecting Alaska Native births, deaths, migration, and population. All computa-tions used the R statistical package, SPSS, and Microsoft Excel.

Statewide Mortality

The Research and Analysis Section used the Brass relational logit model for mortality (Preston, Heuveline, and Guillot, 2001) to project mortality rates. Projected mortality rates are based on a linear interpolation of Brass coeffi cients calculated from Social Security life tables for the United States, 2010 and 2040 (Bell and Miller, 2005), by sex. The interpolated coef-fi cients were then applied to a 2010 Alaska life table, created using Alaska vital statistics data, which produced age-specifi c mortality rates for 2010 through 2035 for males and females.

Statewide Fertility

To project fertility, age specifi c fertility rates were averaged for 2008 to 2010 and used to create a proportional fertility-by-age profi le. The total fertility rate (TFR) — the sum of age specifi c fertility rates — was then multiplied by the profi le to assign the number of expected births per woman to each age group. A TFR of 2.3 was chosen for the projected years, as Alaska’s TFR is expected decrease slightly in the future.

Statewide Migration

To project migration for Alaska, two values were used: the net-migration ratio (net-migration divided by mid-year population) and the out-migration rate (number of out-migrants divided by mid-year population). Adding the net-migration ratio to the out-migration rate produced the in-migration ratio (number of in-migrants divided by the mid-year population). The “baseline” projection used an annual net-migration ratio of .00171, which was estimated using the last 10 years of data from the Alaska Permanent Fund as well as population estimates. The “high” scenario projection used an annual net-migration ratio of .01, the “low” scenario projection assumed a -.005 annual net-mi-gration ratio. The out-migration rate was held constant.

The overall numbers of in- and out-migrants were then assigned to the proper age-by-sex categories when multiplied with the age-by-sex in- and out-migration share profi les. Migration share profi les were estimated by subtracting births and deaths from Alaska Permanent Fund data nonmatches (persons not present in consecutive annual Permanent Fund fi les).

Statewide Projection Model

Once the necessary components were calculated, the Research and Analysis Section applied them to a cohort component projection model (Preston, Heuveline and Guillot, 2001). For this model, Leslie Matrices were used to project natural increase — the effects of births and deaths on a population — while projected out-migrants were subtracted and in-migrants added at each step. The model was run three times with the differ-ent migration scenarios to produce the “baseline,” “high,” and “low” projections.

Borough and Census Area Mortality

Given the very small populations of Alaska boroughs and census areas, it was not feasible to create age-by-sex specifi c mortality rates at the sub-state level. Rather than applying the statewide levels of mortality to each borough and census area though, it was decided to account for the distinct racial composition of each area, and to adjust the levels of mortal-ity accordingly. Levels of mortality were linearly interpolated between statewide Alaska Native and non-Native lifetables, based on the total proportion of Alaska Natives in each borough or census area. The next step was to apply the Brass projection coeffi cients that were calculated for statewide mortality to the interpolated life tables. Applying the Brass coeffi cients yielded age specifi c rates of mortality for 2010 through 2035, based on the U.S. Social Security Administration’s projected change in U.S. mortality.

Borough and Census Area Fertility

Age-specifi c fertility rates were calculated for most borough and census areas using data from 2005-2010, and then held constant through the projection period. For smaller boroughs and census areas it was necessary to use data from 2000-2010, and in some cases to group similar borough and census areas. Area-specifi c fertility rates were not lowered through time, as movement from rural to urban areas lowers the statewide total fertility rate.

Borough and Census Area Migration

The Research and Analysis Section estimated migration for each boroughand census area using the net-migration ratio and the out-migration rate of each from 2000 to 2010. Net-migra-tion ratios and out-migration rates used annual borough and census area estimates as well as Alaska Permanent Fund data nonmatches, with deaths and births subtracted. Migrants were distributed according to age-by-sex migration share profi les, estimated from Alaska Permanent Fund data.

The projected net-migration ratios for each borough and census area gradually converge toward the net-migration ratio of the “baseline” state projection. This adjustment allowed boroughs and census areas with high positive net-migration to continue gaining a reasonable number of in-migrants while keeping boroughs and census areas with highly negative net-migration from losing an unreasonable number of people to migration.

Borough and Census Area Projections

Borough and census area projections used the cohort compo-nent method, like the state projection, but with fi ve-year steps instead of single-year because of the smaller populations. The model was run separately for each borough and census area, with each area’s unique components of change put into the model. The sub-state age-by-sex projections were then fi t to the “baseline” state age-by-sex projection using “iterative proportional fi tting” (Smith, Tayman, and Swanson, 2001).

Alaska Native “Bridged” Estimates

Beginning in 2000, the U.S. Census Bureau reformatted its race question, allowing people to select more than one race category. However, vital and educational statistics (among oth-ers) do not offer a multi-race option, making data on race less clear. The “bridged” race data series provided by the Research and Analysis Section attempts to address this problem. Further description and data from 2000 to 2010 are available online at labor.alaska.gov/research/pop/popest.htm.

Alaska Native Population Projections

Alaska Native mortality data from the Alaska vital statistics for 2005-2010 were used to estimate age-by-sex specifi c mor-tality rates for Natives. The Brass coeffi cients from the U.S. Social Security Administration were then applied to project age-by-sex specifi c mortality rates through 2035.

Fertility for Alaska Natives was found using vital statistics data for 2000 to 2010 and held constant throughout the projec-tion.

Migration for Alaska Natives was estimated using the cohort component method to project the 2000 estimated population to 2005 and then the estimated 2005 population was projected to 2010. The projected values were compared with the 2005 and 2010 population estimates to fi nd migration ratios by age and sex.

The cohort component method was then used, as with the bor-oughs and census areas, to project the Alaska Native popula-tion by age and sex. The difference between the Alaska Native projection and the “baseline” state projection is attributed to Alaska’s non-Native population.
