According to the 2010 United States Census, Alaska is the 3rd least populous state with 733,391 inhabitants but is the largest by land area spanning 665384.04sqmi of land.^[1] As of the 2020 Census, Alaska has 206 census-designated places.

Changes for 2020 include the addition of five census-designated places: Eareckson Station (last gazetted in 1980), Mill Bay, North Lakes, Petersburg (a former city), and South Lakes. Six former census-designates places counted for the 2010 census were not included in 2020: Edna Bay, incorporated in 2014;^[2] Lakes, split into North Lakes and South Lakes; New Allakaket, annexed by neighboring Allakaket in March 2015;^[3] Northway Junction and Northway Village, both merged with Northway; and Whale Pass, incorporated in 2017.^[4]

Changes for 2010 include the addition of twelve new census-designated places: Badger, Chena Ridge, Eureka Roadhouse, Farmers Loop, Goldstream, Loring, Mertarvik, Nabesna, Point Possession, South Van Horn, Steele Creek, and Whitestone. Six former census-designated places counted for the 2000 census were not included in 2010: Alpine, Copperville (merged into Tazlina CDP), Cube Cove, Miller Landing (annexed to Homer city), Meyers Chuck and Thoms Place (both incorporated into Wrangell city and borough). Two former CDPs became cities: Adak (incorporated in 2001) and Gustavus (incorporated in 2004). Skagway (disincorporated in 2007) is now a census-designated place. Finally, one census-designated place has a new name: Y is now Susitna North.
