The state of Alaska is massive, it’s the biggest US state by land mass and 7 times the size of the United Kingdom (a whole nation). Now I’m sure you have noticed that very few people actually live up there in the state of Alaska though, right? Well this video explains why that is, why nobody lives in the state of Alaska. Of course some folks to live in the state of Alaska (about 700,000 residents) to be more precise, and this video also looks at why nearly a million people do choose to live in the complicated and remote state of Alaska. That’s not all I cover in this video of course; because to really consider why so few people live in America’s largest and most Northern state; I also had to breakdown Alaska’s history, economics, geography, and demographics. Because, while the state of Alaska may have a small population, especially for a state of it’s consider size; I would argue that it’s also perhaps “the” most interesting state in all of North America.
Thank you so much for watching my video on Alaska, to see more content on How America is Changing (one city/state/subject at a time) please subscribe to my channel Something Different Films below
As I upload new content at least every Saturday morning; focused on how geographic, economic, and demographic changes are shifting the United States (and the 50 states, 108,000 cities, and 3,033 counties that it’s made-up of).

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video on the beautiful state of Alaska, if you have ideas for future videos please let me know here in the comments section.
Lets not forget that Alaska was home to many different Nations of Native Alaskan people. Alaska is also the home of a genocide. Educate yourself.
I bet Russia is so mad about that sale
I would move there today if i could its beautiful state pure nature.
Have atleast a dozen friends who have just recently moved to Alaska more and more Midwesterns are going there or south
BECAUSE IT'S SO COLD AND THE ONLY SEASON IT HAS IS WINTER LOL SMH
for starters Alaska is huge .. it's like 3 times the size of Texas … I wouldn't say nobody doesn't live there, but there are areas where population is very concentrated.
Someone tell me the difference of living in CANADA, MONTANA, SCOTLAND, GREENLAND, LABRADOR AND ALASKA!?
Eloquent and straightforward thanks!
Purchasing 🅰️laska was the greatest real estate deal in the history of the world 🌎❗
$7.2 mil is what you could expect to pay for one collectible gold coin these days!
The scary part is, imagine if Russia still owned Alaska, they would have been only 2276 miles from US mainland!
Most people aren't stupid, which is why no lives Alaska.
Benny had pitch black eyes
No please don't share anything about Alaska. We don't want any more people!!!! Keep the folks in the lower 48 !!!!
Alaska is the #1 consumer of ice-cream per resident… And the most serial killers, 🎉
Alaska belongs to itself, as it true name does, as it's true inhabitants know as well.
Slavery, Colonialism & Colonization are all evil things done and benefited by evildoers 😔
For plain truth, pls read the informative multi-pages comment by 'Lonely Alaskan' at, "Complete History Of Indigenous America Before Colonialism/Chronicle"… It's on YouTube.
I live in southeast Alaska and it’s beautiful but when it gets cold you hate it and the price of groceries are awful, milk kn 11.99$
Looks like a good place to start fresh…
No one lives in Alaska because it's a cold, dark, lonely shithole.
Cold
because its COLD!?

Not many make it here, if you fit in, in the LOWER 48 than you should stay. We help each other but really don’t want to grow.
Don’t move here, I hear Texas is nice go there.
I'm tired of working for alcoholics
Having a educated guess!? Ud say the costs of supplies from food to gad etc and the cold temperatures and the lack of knowledge about that beautiful state is the answer you're desperately seeking 😅 Alaska id for the strong if will only it's not the same on TV 😅😅 get a full education about life there to avoid your pitiful disappointed YouTube video's 😮😊😅
Major World Power From 2000's is CHINA & INDIA.
How can you mention "Alaska" and then "UK, France, Japan and Germany" and call them major world powers? Alaska is EMPTY, and certainly not a world power. It is not even a country. It is the emptiest state of all 50 and has the lowest GDP compared to its size. Only Vermont has less, but is ridiculously tiny compared to Alaska. Proportionately Vermont has more than Alaska.
Alaska is a state, not a country. Why do Americans say "I'm from NY" when you ask them where you from? Do Germans say "I'm from Weimar"? Or French "I am from Dijon"? We say "Germany" and "France". You're still American. Your passport says AMERICA, not New York.
It's so beautiful but not for life living. Greetings from Florida 🔥
I'm born and raised here, it's getting worse, we have homeless, drugs, violence, and theft just like everywhere else. Here where I live we had a pre covid population of about 9,000 in S.E. Alaska, summer time w all the seasonal workers/ jewlers/ tour guides it goes up to about 12-13,000 but now post covid we've got about 15, 000 "residents" w a bad housing problem, almost impossible to get a storage unit, price of groceries cost even more up here because everything is shipped in by barge so that makes the cost of living go up even more on top of inflation… I still love my home town… I just wish it wasn't so expensive to live here
It's cold and expensive.all the rest is yap,yap,yap,yap
The Russians or the Canadians should have bought it
I’m a rock hound 💎🪨🪨 and I want to know what kinds of rocks are in Alaska
Alaska is good place.
