Alaska, also known as the 'Land of the Midnight Sun' has a population approaching
eight million. Some of the demographics we will examine below, such
as the ratio of men to women, as well as how many of these people are single,
should shed some light on the dating opportunities available to singles living
in Alaska. Being one of the least densely populated
states, Alaska
has many of its residents living
far away from one another. This can be both good and bad. Living near someone you
would be interested in dating gives you more opportunities to see one
another, but also the added pressure of dealing with congestion on the roads, as
well as at some of the places you might go out to. Web Personals Online

So what does all this data mean? Well, the largest percentage of singles are
white. AK is not a racially diverse state and therefore there are not very many interracial dating opportunities. The largest age demographic consists of single
men and women between 18 and 54 years of age. Alaska is heavily dominated
by its male population. Prime dating age range
(20-34) comprises almost 19% of the total population of Alaska. Most
likely, the majority of AK personal ads will be from men and women in this age
range, although there is also a good percentage of seniors living in the 'Land
of the Midnight Sun' State. The ratio of men to women is almost even, with slightly more
females. This is true, in general, of most states as women tend to live
longer and the disparity between the two groups is usually made up of older
women (above 65).
