What it’s like
The place. Juneau is a small city where most homes are lived in by their owners, and where incomes and the age of the population sit comfortably in the middle of what is typical. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical commute is short. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers stay cool, with June the warmest.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and in government, with transport and shops also employing a good number. Among the largest workplaces in Juneau are Bartlett Regional Hospital, the State of Alaska and the University of Alaska Southeast. Joblessness is low, and the number of jobs has held roughly steady over the past year.
Things to do. A short drive away are the Alaska State Centennial Museum and the Juneau-Douglas City Museum, both good for learning about the area's history. Farther out, a longer drive brings you to Nugget Falls, a waterfall, and to Mendenhall Lake, a lake. Eaglecrest Ski Area, also a longer drive away, is the place to go for winter on the slopes.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Juneau’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Juneau City and Borough and the Juneau, AK metro.
