DENALI2015distressed_communitiesAK54beb55602f63494e9932f2dac0c8c0c0a17ede4No data112378 Denali Commission 510 L Street, Suite 410 Anchorage, AK 99501 907.271.1414 tel 907.271.1415 fax 888.480.4321 toll free www.denali.gov Issue: Distressed Community Criteria 2015 Update Date: June 2015 Background: This 2015 annual update of the distressed community list prepared by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOL&WD), Research and Analysis Section, uses the most current population, employment and earnings data available to identify those Alaska communities considered “distressed”. The distressed status is determined by comparing average income of a community to full-time minimum wage earnings, the percentage of the population earning greater than full-time minimum wage earnings and a measure of the percentage of the population engaged in year-round wage and salary employment. More Community Data Available This report uses enhanced physical place of residence information to better identify the community of residence for Permanent Fund Dividend applicants age 16 and over. Communities included in this report are closely aligned with those used in the annual population place estimates prepared by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Attached is a list of Alaska communities with employment and earnings information used to determine their distressed community status for 2015. Maps by economic region that show locations of communities that meet the distressed criteria are also included. Surrogate Standard Background The Denali Commission adopted alternate methods of determining community eligibility when census data were not available for the 2000 update. That “surrogate” standard considered additional data and methodology. For this 2015 update, we compiled the data required to implement a “surrogate” standard to determine eligibility. Data Sources and Methodology Three sources of data are used for the 2015 update: • 2014 Permanent Fund Dividend applications (PFD). This information includes the applicant’s age, social security number (SSN), and physical place of residence. The 2014 recent year PFD applications correspond with 2014 wage records, the most recent available. Distressed Community Criteria June 2015 • Alaska unemployment insurance wage records for calendar year 2014. This information includes wage and salary worker earnings from all private, state and local government employers. Federal government, military, and self-employed earnings are not available and not included in the earnings estimate. • Calendar year 2013 Commercial Fisheries Entry Commissions (CFEC) total fish value data by community, the most recent data available. To approximate the community income we combine the most recent fishery income and wage records. All 2014 PFD applicants age 16 and over in 2014 were assigned to an Alaska borough/census area and community by place of residence. PFD applicants age 16 and over were matched with wage and employment information by SSN. CFEC 2013 total fish values were added to wage and salary earnings to compute community average market income. 2015 Update Surrogate Standard A community that meets two of the following three surrogate standard criteria is considered distressed: Criteria 1 Average market income in 2014 is less than $16,120. Average market income = Community UI Earnings + Community CFEC Earnings Number Residents 16 and Over $16,120 = Minimum Wage ($7.75/hour x 1,120 hours/year) Any community with an average market income of less than $16,120 in 2014 meets this criteria. Criteria 2 More than 70% of residents 16 and over earned less than $16,120 in 2014. Percent Residents w/Earnings < than $16,120 = 100 x Number Residents w/Earnings < than $16,120 Number Residents 16 and Over Any community with more than 70% of its residents earning less than $16,120 in 2014 meets this criteria. Criteria 3 Less than 30% of residents 16 and over worked all four quarters of 2014. Percent Residents Employed All 4 Quarters = 100 x Number Residents Employed All 4 Quarters Number Residents 16 and Over Any community with less than 30% of its residents employed all four quarters of 2014 meets this criteria. Appeals Page 2 Distressed Community Criteria June 2015 The Denali Commission recognizes that in some cases the data collection and application methodology does not accurately reflect the appropriate classification of some communities. Therefore, the Commission is open to reviewing a community’s classification as “non-distressed.” Any community that believes a “non-distressed” classification was determined in error may appeal to the Denali Commission. Appeals determinations will be made in lieu of new information (relevant economic data and facts) which demonstrate the data compiled by the DOL&WD was erroneous, invalid, or outdated. Additionally, the Commission will take into consideration the past economic status of a community as determined by the Denali Commission’s annual Distressed Community Criteria lists dating back to 2002. Past economic statuses will not, however, be the single determining factor for successful appeals. They will be considered in addition to the new information provided. New information must come from a verifiable source and be robust and representative of the entire community and/or population. In addition to demonstrating the data compiled by the DOL&WD was erroneous, invalid, or outdated, the new information must demonstrate a community does meet at least two of the three Surrogate Standard criteria as defined above for classification as a distressed community. Appeals must be sent in writing to the attention of the Denali Commission Director of Programs who will make an appeal determination based on the new verifiable information presented and will provide a response in writing within 30 days. Send appeals to: Denali Commission Attention: Director of Programs 510 L Street, Suite 410 Anchorage, AK 99501 *The last section of the “Communities that meet 2015 Distressed Criteria” below contains the names of communities which have successfully appealed their status as “non-distressed” and received a “distressed” classification from the Commission.

The distressed status is determined by comparing average income of a community to full-time minimum wage earnings, the percentage of the population earning greater than full-time minimum wage earnings and a measure of the percentage of the population engaged in year-round wage and salary employment. More Community Data Available This report uses enhanced physical place of residence information to better identify the community of residence for Permanent Fund Dividend applicants age 16 and over. Communities included in this report are closely aligned with those used in the annual population place estimates prepared by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Attached is a list of Alaska communities with employment and earnings information used to determine their distressed community status for 2016. Maps by economic region that show locations of communities that meet the distressed criteria are also included. Surrogate Standard Background The Denali Commission adopted alternate methods of determining community eligibility when census data were not available for the 2000 update. That “surrogate” standard considered additional data and methodology. For this 2016 update, we compiled the data required to implement a “surrogate” standard to determine eligibility. Data Sources and Methodology Three sources of data are used for the 2016 update: • 2015 Permanent Fund Dividend applications (PFD). This information includes the applicant’s age, social security number (SSN), and physical place of residence. The 2015 recent year PFD applications correspond with 2015 wage records, the most recent available. Distressed Community Criteria June 2016 • Alaska unemployment insurance wage records for calendar year 2015. This information includes wage and salary worker earnings from all private, state and local government employers. Federal government, military, and self-employed earnings are not available and not included in the earnings estimate. • Calendar year 2014 Commercial Fisheries Entry Commissions (CFEC) total fish value data by community, the most recent data available. To approximate the community income we combine the most recent fishery income and wage records. All 2015 PFD applicants age 16 and over in 2015 were assigned to an Alaska borough/census area and community by place of residence. PFD applicants age 16 and over were matched with wage and employment information by SSN. CFEC 2014 total fish values were added to wage and salary earnings to compute community average market income. The minimum wage rose from $7.75 to $8.75 in February 24, 2015. The annual minimum wage used in this report is pro-rated to reflect this change. 2016 Update Surrogate Standard A community that meets two of the following three surrogate standard criteria is considered distressed: Criteria 1 Average market income in 2015 is less than $17,896. Average market income = Community UI Earnings + Community CFEC Earnings Number Residents 16 and Over $17,896 = Minimum Wage ($7.75/hour x 304 hours/year + $8.75 x 1,776 hours/year) Any community with an average market income of less than $17,896 in 2015 meets this criteria. Criteria 2 More than 70% of residents 16 and over earned less than $17,896 in 2015. Percent Residents w/Earnings < than $17,896 = 100 x Number Residents w/Earnings < than $17,896 Number Residents 16 and Over Any community with more than 70% of its residents earning less than $17,89617,896in 2015 meets this criteria. Criteria 3 Less than 30% of residents 16 and over worked all four quarters of 2015. Percent Residents Employed All 4 Quarters = 100 x Number Residents Employed All 4 Quarters Number Residents 16 and Over Page 2 Distressed Community Criteria June 2016 Any community with less than 30% of its residents employed all four quarters of 2015 meets this criteria. Appeals The Denali Commission recognizes that in some cases the data collection and application methodology does not accurately reflect the appropriate classification of some communities. Therefore, the Commission is open to reviewing a community’s classification as “non-distressed.” Any community that believes a “non-distressed” classification was determined in error may appeal to the Denali Commission. Appeals determinations will be made in lieu of new information (relevant economic data and facts) which demonstrate the data compiled by the DOL&WD was erroneous, invalid, or outdated. Additionally, the Commission will take into consideration the past economic status of a community as determined by the Denali Commission’s annual Distressed Community Criteria lists dating back to 2002. Past economic statuses will not, however, be the single determining factor for successful appeals. They will be considered in addition to the new information provided. New information must come from a verifiable source and be robust and representative of the entire community and/or population. In addition to demonstrating the data compiled by the DOL&WD was erroneous, invalid, or outdated, the new information must demonstrate a community does meet at least two of the three Surrogate Standard criteria as defined above for classification as a distressed community. Appeals must be sent in writing to the attention of the Denali Commission Director of Programs who will make an appeal determination based on the new verifiable information presented and will provide a response in writing within 30 days. Send appeals to: Denali Commission Attention: Director of Programs 510 L Street, Suite 410 Anchorage, AK 99501 *The last section of the “Communities that meet 2016 Distressed Criteria” below contains the names of communities which have successfully appealed their status as “non-distressed” and received a “distressed” classification from the Commission.

DOL&WD used the most current population, employment and earnings data available to identify those Alaska communities and Census Designated Places (CDP’s) considered “distressed”. The distressed status is determined by comparing average income of a community or CDP to full-time minimum wage earnings, the percentage of the population earning greater than full-time minimum wage earnings and a measure of the percentage of the population engaged in year-round wage and salary employment. This report uses enhanced physical place of residence information to better identify the community/CDP of residence for Permanent Fund Dividend applicants age 16 and over. Communities and CDP’s included in this report are closely aligned with those used in the annual population place estimates prepared by DOL&WD. This document includes a list of all Alaska communities and CDP’s, and indicates whether they are considered distressed or non-distressed. The list also includes employment and earnings information used to determine the status of each location for 2017. Maps by economic region that show locations of communities and CDP’s that meet the distressed criteria are also included. Data Sources and Methodology Three sources of data were used for the 2017 update: • 2016 Permanent Fund Dividend applications (PFD). This information includes the applicant’s age, social security number (SSN), and physical place of residence. The 2016 recent year PFD applications correspond with 2016 wage records, the most recent available. • Alaska unemployment insurance wage records for calendar year 2016. This information includes wage and salary worker earnings from all private, state and local government employers. Federal government, military, and self-employed earnings are not available and not included in the earnings estimate. • Calendar year 2015 Commercial Fisheries Entry Commissions (CFEC) total fish value data by community, the most recent data available. Distressed Community Report June 2017 To approximate the community/CDP income, DOL&WD combined the most recent fishery income and wage records. All 2016 PFD applicants age 16 and over in 2016 were assigned to an Alaska borough/census area and community by place of residence. PFD applicants age 16 and over were matched with wage and employment information by SSN. CFEC 2015 total fish values were added to wage and salary earnings to compute community average market income. The minimum wage was $9.75 in 2016. For a forty-hour work week, or 2,080 hours annually, the average market income threshold is $20,280. Surrogate Standard In 2000, the Denali Commission adopted a “surrogate standard” method for determining if a location is considered distressed. A location that meets two of the following three criteria is considered distressed. Criteria 1 - Average Market Income Average market income = Community Wage & Salary Earnings + Community CFEC Earnings Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with an average market income of less than $20,280 in 2016 meets this criterion. Criteria 2 - Percent of Residents Earning Less Than $20,280 Percent Residents w/Earnings < than $20,280 = 100 x Number Residents w/Earnings < than $20,280 Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with 70% (or more) of its residents earning less than $20,280 in 2016 meets this criterion. Criteria 3 – Percent of Residents Working All Four Quarters Percent Residents Employed All 4 Quarters = 100 x Number Residents Employed All 4 Quarters Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with 30% (or less) of its residents employed in all four quarters of 2016 meets this criterion.

Under the expanded standard, the criteria are increased/decreased by 3% as appropriate, which results in more locations being classified as distressed. Again, a location must meet two of the following three criteria in order to be considered distressed. Criteria 1 - Average earnings less than $20,888* in 2016 * $20,280 x 1.03 Criteria 2 - 67%* (or more) residents earned less than $20,280 in 2016 * 70% - 3% Criteria 3 – 33%* of residents (or less) employed in all four quarters of 2016 * 30% + 3% Page 5 Distressed Community Report June 2017 Additional Locations Considered Distressed Based on the Expanded Standard Aniak Haines Petersburg Big Lake Homer Primrose Chiniak Houston Saxman Clam Gulch Moose Creek Silver Springs Covenant Life Nelchina Sutton-Alpine Delta Junction Nenana Tok Diamond Ridge Nikolaevsk Whittier Diomede Nikolski Wrangell Gakona Appeals The Denali Commission recognizes that in some cases the data collection and application methodologies described above do not accurately reflect the appropriate classification for some communities. Therefore, any community that believes a “non-distressed” classification was determined in error may submit an appeal to the Commission. Appeal determinations will be made based on new information (relevant economic data and facts) submitted by the Community that demonstrate the data used by DOL&WD in their original analysis was erroneous, invalid, or outdated. New information must come from a verifiable source, and be robust and representative of the entire community and/or population. In addition to demonstrating the data compiled by DOL&WD was erroneous, invalid, or outdated, the new information must demonstrate that a community meets at least two of the three Surrogate Standard criteria, or two of the three Expanded criteria defined above. Appeals with supporting data and facts must be sent in writing to: Denali Commission Attention: Director of Programs 510 L Street, Suite 410 Anchorage, AK 99501 The Denali Commission will make an appeal determination in collaboration with DOL&WD based on the new verifiable information presented. Communities filing an appeal will be notified of the decision on their appeal in writing, within 30 days. Page 6 Distressed Community Report June 2017 The following is a list of communities that have filed a successful appeal since 2001. This list is presented for historical purposes only. Communities that are classified as Non- Distressed by DOL&WD in any particular year, must file a new appeal for that year if they feel their status is in error.

DOL&WD used the most current population, employment and earnings data available to identify those Alaska communities and Census Designated Places (CDP’s) considered “distressed”. The distressed status is determined by comparing average income of a community or CDP to full-time minimum wage earnings, the percentage of the population earning greater than full-time minimum wage earnings and a measure of the percentage of the population engaged in year-round wage and salary employment. This report uses enhanced physical place of residence information to better identify the community/CDP of residence for Permanent Fund Dividend applicants age 16 and over. Communities and CDP’s included in this report are closely aligned with those used in the annual population place estimates prepared by DOL&WD. This document includes a list of all Alaska communities and CDP’s, and indicates whether they are considered distressed or non-distressed. The list also includes employment and earnings information used to determine the status of each location for 2017. Maps by economic region that show locations of communities and CDP’s that meet the distressed criteria are also included. Data Sources and Methodology Three sources of data were used for the 2018 update: • 2017 Permanent Fund Dividend applications (PFD). This information includes the applicant’s age, social security number (SSN), and physical place of residence. The 2017 recent year PFD applications correspond with 2017 wage records, the most recent available. • Alaska unemployment insurance wage records for calendar year 2017. This information includes wage and salary worker earnings from all private, state and local government employers. Federal government, military, and self-employed earnings are not available and not included in the earnings estimate. • Calendar year 2016 Commercial Fisheries Entry Commissions (CFEC) total fish value data by community, the most recent data available. Distressed Community Report June 2018 To approximate the community/CDP income, DOL&WD combined the most recent fishery income and wage records. All 2017 PFD applicants age 16 and over in 2017 were assigned to an Alaska borough/census area and community by place of residence. PFD applicants age 16 and over were matched with wage and employment information by SSN. CFEC 2016 total fish values were added to wage and salary earnings to compute community average market income. The minimum wage was $9.80 in 2017. For a forty-hour work week, or 2,080 hours annually, the average market income threshold is $20,384. Surrogate Standard In 2000, the Denali Commission adopted a “surrogate standard” method for determining if a location is considered distressed. A location that meets two of the following three criteria is considered distressed. Criteria 1 - Average Market Income Average market income = Community Wage & Salary Earnings + Community CFEC Earnings Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with an average market income of less than $20,384 in 2017 meets this criterion. Criteria 2 - Percent of Residents Earning Less Than $20,384 Percent Residents w/Earnings < than $20,384 = 100 x Number Residents w/Earnings < than $20,384 Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with 70% (or more) of its residents earning less than $20,384 in 2017 meets this criterion. Criteria 3 – Percent of Residents Working All Four Quarters Percent Residents Employed All 4 Quarters = 100 x Number Residents Employed All 4 Quarters Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with 30% (or less) of its residents employed in all four quarters of 2017 meets this criterion.

Under the expanded standard, the criteria are increased/decreased by 3% as appropriate, which results in more locations being classified as distressed. Again, a location must meet two of the following three criteria in order to be considered distressed. Page 5 Distressed Community Report June 2018 Criteria 1 - Average earnings less than $20,996* in 2017 * $20,384 x 1.03 Criteria 2 - 67%* (or more) residents earned less than $20,384 in 2017 * 70% - 3% Criteria 3 – 33%* of residents (or less) employed in all four quarters of 2017 * 30% + 3% Additional Locations Considered Distressed Based on the Expanded Standard Buffalo Soapstone Haines Noatak Chenega Hollis Northway Chiniak Homer Petersburg Clam Gulch Kasilof Platinum Delta Junction McGrath South Van Horn Eureka Roadhouse Moose Pass Sutton-Alpine Gakona Nenana Wrangell Appeals The Denali Commission recognizes that in some cases the data collection and application methodologies described above do not accurately reflect the appropriate classification for some communities. Therefore, any community that believes a “non-distressed” classification was determined in error may submit an appeal to the Commission. Appeal determinations will be made based on new information (relevant economic data and facts) submitted by the Community that demonstrate the data used by DOL&WD in their original analysis was erroneous, invalid, or outdated. New information must come from a verifiable source, and be robust and representative of the entire community and/or population. In addition to demonstrating the data compiled by DOL&WD was erroneous, invalid, or outdated, the new information must demonstrate that a community meets at least two of the three Surrogate Standard criteria, or two of the three expanded criteria defined above. Appeals with supporting data and facts must be sent in writing to: Denali Commission Attention: Director of Programs 510 L Street, Suite 410 Anchorage, AK 99501 The Denali Commission will make an appeal determination in collaboration with DOL&WD based on the new verifiable information presented. Communities filing an appeal will be notified of the decision on their appeal in writing, within 30 days.

DENALI2020distressed_communitiesAK9ea477becb52f4b14bf2964911d21294526252faNo data150095 2020 Distressed Communities Report July 2020 This 2020 annual update of the distressed community list was prepared by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOL&WD), Research and Analysis Section. DOL&WD used the most current population, employment and earnings data available to identify those Alaska communities and Census Designated Places (CDP’s) considered “distressed”. The distressed status is determined by comparing average income of a community or CDP to full-time minimum wage earnings, the percentage of the population earning greater than full-time minimum wage earnings and a measure of the percentage of the population engaged in year-round wage and salary employment. This report uses enhanced physical place of residence information to better identify the community/CDP of residence for Permanent Fund Dividend applicants age 16 and over. Communities and CDP’s included in this report are closely aligned with those used in the annual population place estimates prepared by DOL&WD. This document includes a list of all Alaska communities and CDP’s, and indicates whether they are considered distressed or non-distressed. The list also includes employment and earnings information used to determine the status of each location for 2020. Maps by economic region that show locations of communities and CDP’s that meet the distressed criteria are also included. Data Sources and Methodology Three sources of data were used for the 2020 update:  2019 Permanent Fund Dividend applications (PFD). This information includes the applicant’s age, social security number (SSN), and physical place of residence. The 2019 recent year PFD applications correspond with 2019 wage records, the most recent available.  Alaska unemployment insurance wage records for calendar year 2019. This information includes wage and salary worker earnings from all private, state and local government employers. Federal government, military, and self-employed earnings are not available and not included in the earnings estimate.  Calendar year 2018 Commercial Fisheries Entry Commissions (CFEC) total fish value data by community, the most recent data available. Distressed Community Report July 2020 To approximate the community/CDP income, DOL&WD combined the most recent fishery income and wage records. All 2019 PFD applicants age 16 and over in 2019 were assigned to an Alaska borough/census area and community by place of residence. PFD applicants age 16 and over were matched with wage and employment information by SSN. CFEC 2018 total fish values were added to wage and salary earnings to compute community average market income. The minimum wage was $9.89 in 2019. For a forty-hour work week, or 2,080 hours annually, the average market income threshold is $20,571. Surrogate Standard In 2000, the Denali Commission adopted a “surrogate standard” method for determining if a location is considered distressed. A location that meets two of the following three criteria is considered distressed. Criteria 1 - Average Market Income Average market income = Community Wage & Salary Earnings + Community CFEC Earnings Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with an average market income of less than $20,571 in 2019 meets this criterion. Criteria 2 - Percent of Residents Earning Less Than $20,571 Percent Residents w/Earnings < than $20,571 = 100 x Number Residents w/Earnings < than $20,571 Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with 70% (or more) of its residents earning less than $20,571 in 2019 meets this criterion. Criteria 3 – Percent of Residents Working All Four Quarters Percent Residents Employed All 4 Quarters = 100 x Number Residents Employed All 4 Quarters Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with 30% (or less) of its residents employed in all four quarters of 2019 meets this criterion.

Under the expanded standard, the criteria are increased/decreased by 3% as appropriate, which results in more locations being classified as distressed. Again, a location must meet two of the following three criteria in order to be considered distressed. Criteria 1 - Average earnings less than $21,188* in 2019 * $20,571 x 1.03 Criteria 2 - 67%* (or more) residents earned less than $20,571 in 2019 * 70% - 3% Criteria 3 – 33%* of residents (or less) employed in all four quarters of 2019 * 30% + 3% Additional Locations Considered Distressed Based on the Expanded Standard Akhiok Diamond Ridge Houston Moose Pass Stony River Aleknagik Elim Kake Seldovia Village Talkeetna Buckland Fort Yukon Kalskag Shungnak Tok Clark's Point Funny River Kiana South Naknek Wrangell Denali Park Hoonah Manokotak St. Mary's Appeals The Denali Commission recognizes that in some cases the data collection and application methodologies described above do not accurately reflect the appropriate classification for some communities. Therefore, any community that believes a “non-distressed” classification was determined in error may submit an appeal to the Commission.

DENALI2021distressed_communitiesAKeb3d4fb951e74a36b6c8e33fe7140b81f870fa68No data150248 2021 Distressed Communities Report July 2021 This 2021 annual update of the distressed community list was prepared by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOL&WD), Research and Analysis Section. DOL&WD used the most current population, employment and earnings data available to identify those Alaska communities and Census Designated Places (CDP’s) considered “distressed”. The distressed status is determined by comparing average income of a community or CDP to full-time minimum wage earnings, the percentage of the population earning greater than full-time minimum wage earnings and a measure of the percentage of the population engaged in year-round wage and salary employment. This report uses enhanced physical place of residence information to better identify the community/CDP of residence for Permanent Fund Dividend applicants age 16 and over. Communities and CDP’s included in this report are closely aligned with those used in the annual population place estimates prepared by DOL&WD. This document includes a list of all Alaska communities and CDP’s, and indicates whether they are considered distressed or non-distressed. The list also includes employment and earnings information used to determine the status of each location for 2021. Maps by economic region that show locations of communities and CDP’s that meet the distressed criteria are also included. Data Sources and Methodology Three sources of data were used for the 2021 update: • 2020 Permanent Fund Dividend applications (PFD). This information includes the applicant’s age, social security number (SSN), and physical place of residence. The 2020 recent year PFD applications correspond with 2020 wage records, the most recent available. • Alaska unemployment insurance wage records for calendar year 2020. This information includes wage and salary worker earnings from all private, state and local government employers. Federal government, military, and self-employed earnings are not available and not included in the earnings estimate. • Calendar year 2019 Commercial Fisheries Entry Commissions (CFEC) total fish value data by community, the most recent data available. Distressed Community Report April 2021 To approximate the community/CDP income, DOL&WD combined the most recent fishery income and wage records. All 2020 PFD applicants age 16 and over in 2020 were assigned to an Alaska borough/census area and community by place of residence. PFD applicants age 16 and over were matched with wage and employment information by SSN. CFEC 2019 total fish values were added to wage and salary earnings to compute community average market income. The minimum wage was $10.19 in 2020. For a forty-hour work week, or 2,080 hours annually, the average market income threshold is $21,195. Surrogate Standard In 2000, the Denali Commission adopted a “surrogate standard” method for determining if a location is considered distressed.

Under the expanded standard, the criteria are increased/decreased by 3% as appropriate, which results in more locations being classified as distressed. Again, a location must meet two of the following three criteria in order to be considered distressed. Criteria 1 - Average earnings less than $21,831* in 2020 * $21,195 x 1.03 Criteria 2 - 67%* (or more) residents earned less than $21,195 in 2020 * 70% - 3% Criteria 3 – 33%* of residents (or less) employed in all four quarters of 2020 * 30% + 3% Additional Locations Considered Distressed Based on the Expanded Standard Aleknagik Dot Lake Village Kake Moose Creek Teller Big Lake Haines Kiana Oscarville Tok Buckland Hollis Klawock Skagway Wales Chistochina Homer Mcgrath Stony River White Mountain Clark's Point Huslia Minto Sutton-Alpine Wrangell Diamond Ridge Hydaburg Appeals The Denali Commission recognizes that in some cases the data collection and application methodologies described above do not accurately reflect the appropriate classification for some communities. Therefore, any community that believes a “non-distressed” classification was determined in error may submit an appeal to the Commission. Appeal determinations will be made based on new information (relevant economic data and facts) submitted by the Community that demonstrate the data used by DOL&WD in their original analysis was erroneous, invalid, or outdated. New information must come from a verifiable source, and be robust and representative of the entire community and/or population. In addition to demonstrating the data compiled by DOL&WD was erroneous, invalid, or outdated, the new information must demonstrate that a community meets at least two of the three Surrogate Standard criteria, or two of the three expanded criteria defined above. Page 5 Distressed Community Report April 2021 Appeals with supporting data and facts must be sent in writing to: Denali Commission Attention: Director of Programs 510 L Street, Suite 410 Anchorage, AK 99501 The Denali Commission will make an appeal determination in collaboration with DOL&WD based on the new verifiable information presented. Communities filing an appeal will be notified of the decision on their appeal in writing, within 30 days. The following is a list of communities that have filed a successful appeal since 2001. This list is presented for historical purposes only. Communities that are classified as Non- Distressed by DOL&WD in any particular year, must file a new appeal for that year if they feel their status is in error.

DENALI2022distressed_communitiesAK48ac820248729ce7ed197a9e90d13fb48f82d770No data148570 2022 Distressed Communities Report April 2022 This 2022 annual update of the distressed community list was prepared by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOL&WD), Research and Analysis Section. DOL&WD used the most current population, employment and earnings data available to identify those Alaska communities and Census Designated Places (CDP’s) considered “distressed”. The distressed status is determined by comparing average income of a community or CDP to full-time minimum wage earnings, the percentage of the population earning greater than full-time minimum wage earnings and a measure of the percentage of the population engaged in year-round wage and salary employment. This report uses enhanced physical place of residence information to better identify the community/CDP of residence for Permanent Fund Dividend applicants age 16 and over. Communities and CDP’s included in this report are closely aligned with those used in the annual population place estimates prepared by DOL&WD. This document includes a list of all Alaska communities and CDP’s, and indicates whether they are considered distressed or non-distressed. The list also includes employment and earnings information used to determine the status of each location for 2022. Maps by economic region that show locations of communities and CDP’s that meet the distressed criteria are also included. Data Sources and Methodology Three sources of data were used for the 2022 update: • 2021 Permanent Fund Dividend applications (PFD). This information includes the applicant’s age, social security number (SSN), and physical place of residence. The 2021 recent year PFD applications correspond with 2021 wage records, the most recent available. • Alaska unemployment insurance wage records for calendar year 2021. This information includes wage and salary worker earnings from all private, state and local government employers. Federal government, military, and self-employed earnings are not available and not included in the earnings estimate. • Calendar year 2020 Commercial Fisheries Entry Commissions (CFEC) total fish value data by community, the most recent data available. Distressed Community Report April 2022 To approximate the community/CDP income, DOL&WD combined the most recent fishery income and wage records. All 2021 PFD applicants age 16 and over in 2021 were assigned to an Alaska borough/census area and community by place of residence. PFD applicants age 16 and over were matched with wage and employment information by SSN. CFEC 2020 total fish values were added to wage and salary earnings to compute community average market income. The minimum wage was $10.34 in 2021. For a forty-hour work week, or 2,080 hours annually, the average market income threshold is $21,507. Surrogate Standard In 2000, the Denali Commission adopted a “surrogate standard” method for determining if a location is considered distressed. A location that meets two of the following three criteria is considered distressed. Criteria 1 - Average Market Income Average market income = Community Wage & Salary Earnings + Community CFEC Earnings Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with an average market income of less than $21,507 in 2021 meets this criterion. Criteria 2 - Percent of Residents Earning Less Than $21,507 Percent Residents w/Earnings < than $21,507 = 100 x Number Residents w/Earnings < than $21,507 Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with 70% (or more) of its residents earning less than $21,507 in 2021 meets this criterion. Criteria 3 – Percent of Residents Working All Four Quarters Percent Residents Employed All 4 Quarters = 100 x Number Residents Employed All 4 Quarters Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with 30% (or less) of its residents employed in all four quarters of 2021 meets this criterion.

Under the Expanded standard, the criteria are increased/decreased by 3% as appropriate, which results in more locations being classified as distressed. Again, a location must meet two of the following three criteria in order to be considered distressed. Criteria 1 - Average earnings less than $22,152* in 2021 * $21,507 x 1.03 Criteria 2 - 67%* (or more) residents earned less than $21,507 in 2021 * 70% - 3% Criteria 3 – 33%* of residents (or less) employed in all four quarters of 2021 * 30% + 3% Additional Locations Considered Distressed Based on the Expanded Standard Anderson Dot Lake Village Kasilof Nanwalek Tok Beaver Fort Yukon Kiana Newhalen Tyonek Big Lake Gakona Kivalina Salamatof White Mountain Chignik Haines Klawock Salcha Whitestone Chiniak Homer Larsen Bay Shungnak Whittier Diamond Ridge Houston Mendeltna St. Mary's Willow Creek Dot Lake Huslia Appeals The Denali Commission recognizes that in some cases the data collection and application methodologies described above do not accurately reflect the appropriate classification for some communities. Therefore, any community that believes a “non-distressed” classification was determined in error may submit an appeal to the Commission. Appeal determinations will be made based on new information (relevant economic data and facts) submitted by the Community that demonstrate the data used by DOL&WD in their original analysis was erroneous, invalid, or outdated. New information must come from a verifiable source, and be robust and representative of the entire community and/or population. Page 5 Distressed Community Report April 2022 In addition to demonstrating the data compiled by DOL&WD was erroneous, invalid, or outdated, the new information must demonstrate that a community meets at least two of the three Surrogate Standard criteria, or two of the three expanded criteria defined above. Appeals with supporting data and facts must be sent in writing to: Denali Commission Attention: Director of Programs 510 L Street, Suite 410 Anchorage, AK 99501 The Denali Commission will make an appeal determination in collaboration with DOL&WD based on the new verifiable information presented. Communities filing an appeal will be notified of the decision on their appeal in writing, within 30 days. The following is a list of communities that have filed a successful appeal since 2001. This list is presented for historical purposes only. Communities that are classified as Non- Distressed by DOL&WD in any particular year, must file a new appeal for that year if they feel their status is in error.

DENALI2023distressed_communitiesAK9a1c2e542baac3795ca537bd5611e43b83b990d0No data146680 Denali Commission 550 W. 7th Avenue, Suite 1230 Anchorage, AK 99501 907.271.1414 (P) 907.271.1415 (F) 888.480.4321(TF) www.denali.gov 2023 Distressed Communities Report April 2023 This 2023 annual update of the distressed community list was prepared by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOL&WD), Research and Analysis Section. DOL&WD used the most current population, employment and earnings data available to identify those Alaska communities and Census Designated Places (CDP’s) considered “distressed”. The distressed status is determined by comparing average income of a community or CDP to full-time minimum wage earnings, the percentage of the population earning greater than full-time minimum wage earnings and a measure of the percentage of the population engaged in year-round wage and salary employment. This report uses enhanced physical place of residence information to better identify the community/CDP of residence for Permanent Fund Dividend applicants age 16 and over. Communities and CDP’s included in this report are closely aligned with those used in the annual population place estimates prepared by DOL&WD. This document includes a list of all Alaska communities and CDP’s, and indicates whether they are considered distressed or non-distressed. The list also includes employment and earnings information used to determine the status of each location for 2023. Maps by economic region that show locations of communities and CDP’s that meet the distressed criteria are also included. Data Sources and Methodology Three sources of data were used for the 2023 update: • 2022 Permanent Fund Dividend applications (PFD). This information includes the applicant’s age, social security number (SSN), and physical place of residence. The 2022 recent year PFD applications correspond with 2022 wage records, the most recent available. • Alaska unemployment insurance wage records for calendar year 2022. This information includes wage and salary worker earnings from all private, state and local government employers. Federal government, military, and self-employed earnings are not available and not included in the earnings estimate. • Calendar year 2021 Commercial Fisheries Entry Commissions (CFEC) total fish value data by community, the most recent data available. Distressed Community Report April 2023 To approximate the community/CDP income, DOL&WD combined the most recent fishery income and wage records. All 2022 PFD applicants age 16 and over in 2022 were assigned to an Alaska borough/census area and community by place of residence. PFD applicants age 16 and over were matched with wage and employment information by SSN. CFEC 2021 total fish values were added to wage and salary earnings to compute community average market income. The minimum wage was $10.34 in 2022. For a forty-hour work week, or 2,080 hours annually, the average market income threshold is $21,507. Surrogate Standard In 2000, the Denali Commission adopted a “surrogate standard” method for determining if a location is considered distressed. A location that meets two of the following three criteria is considered distressed. Criteria 1 - Average Market Income Average market income = Community Wage & Salary Earnings + Community CFEC Earnings Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with an average market income of less than $21,507 in 2022 meets this criterion. Criteria 2 - Percent of Residents Earning Less Than $21,507 Percent Residents w/Earnings < than $21,507 = 100 x Number Residents w/Earnings < than $21,507 Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with 70% (or more) of its residents earning less than $21,507 in 2022 meets this criterion. Criteria 3 – Percent of Residents Working All Four Quarters Percent Residents Employed All 4 Quarters = 100 x Number Residents Employed All 4 Quarters Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with 30% (or less) of its residents employed in all four quarters of 2022 meets this criterion.

Under the Expanded standard, the criteria are increased/decreased by 3% as appropriate, which results in more locations being classified as distressed. Again, a location must meet two of the following three criteria in order to be considered distressed. Criteria 1 - Average earnings less than $22,152* in 2022 * $21,507 x 1.03 Criteria 2 - 67%* (or more) residents earned less than $21,507 in 2022 * 70% - 3% Criteria 3 – 33%* of residents (or less) employed in all four quarters of 2022 * 30% + 3% Additional Locations Considered Distressed Based on the Expanded Standard Anvik Denali Park Kasaan Salcha St. Mary’s Big Lake Diamond Ridge Kasilof Saxman Sutton-Alpine Buckland Fort Yukon Klukwan Seldovia Talkeetna Chignik Lagoon Fritz Creek Moose Creek Silver Springs Willow Creek Cohoe Homer Ruby St. George Wrangell Delta Junction Houston Salamatof Appeals The Denali Commission recognizes that in some cases the data collection and application methodologies described above do not accurately reflect the appropriate classification for some communities. Therefore, any community that believes a “non-distressed” classification was determined in error may submit an appeal to the Commission. Appeal determinations will be made based on new information (relevant economic data and facts) submitted by the Community that demonstrate the data used by DOL&WD in their original analysis was erroneous, invalid, or outdated. New information must come from a verifiable source, and be robust and representative of the entire community and/or population. In addition to demonstrating the data compiled by DOL&WD was erroneous, invalid, or outdated, the new information must demonstrate that a community meets at least two of the three Surrogate Standard criteria, or two of the three expanded criteria defined above. Appeals with supporting data and facts must be sent in writing to: Page 5 Distressed Community Report April 2023 Denali Commission Attention: Director of Programs 550 W. 7th Ave., Suite 1230 Anchorage, AK 99501 The Denali Commission will make an appeal determination in collaboration with DOL&WD based on the new verifiable information presented. Communities filing an appeal will be notified of the decision on their appeal in writing, within 30 days. The following is a list of communities that have filed a successful appeal since 2001. This list is presented for historical purposes only. Communities that are classified as Non-Distressed by DOL&WD in any particular year, must file a new appeal for that year if they feel their status is in error.

To facilitate this investment focus the Center of Environmental Quality (CEQ) created the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) which shows the “disadvantaged communities” in Alaska. For many years, the Commission has focused its investments in “distressed communities.” The term “distressed communities” originates in the Commission’s annual appropriation language and determines the amount of non-federal funds needed to match the Commission’s funding. Most “distressed communities” are also “disadvantaged” and vice versa. However, there are some discrepancies and with this Addendum the Commission has decided to change its methodology of determining which communities are distressed by determining that all “disadvantaged communities” identified in the CEJST are also “distressed communities.” Page 6 Distressed Community Report April 2023 Master Community Lists The following tables summarize the status of individual communities and CDP’s based on DOL&WD analyses in 2022 and 2023.

DENALI2024distressed_communitiesAK2db26ffa15abda02163a96d6532a70b11594dfceNo data144506 2024 Distressed Communities Report April 2024 This 2024 annual update of the distressed community list was prepared by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOL&WD), Research and Analysis Section. DOL&WD used the most current population, employment and earnings data available to identify those Alaska communities and Census Designated Places (CDP’s) considered “distressed”. The distressed status is determined by comparing average income of a community or CDP to full-time minimum wage earnings, the percentage of the population earning greater than full-time minimum wage earnings and a measure of the percentage of the population engaged in year-round wage and salary employment. This report uses enhanced physical place of residence information to better identify the community/CDP of residence for Permanent Fund Dividend applicants age 16 and over. Communities and CDP’s included in this report are closely aligned with those used in the annual population place estimates prepared by DOL&WD. This document includes a list of all Alaska communities and CDP’s, and indicates whether they are considered distressed or non-distressed. The list also includes employment and earnings information used to determine the status of each location for 2024. Maps by economic region that show locations of communities and CDP’s that meet the distressed criteria are also included. Data Sources and Methodology Three sources of data were used for the 2024 update: • 2023 Permanent Fund Dividend applications (PFD). This information includes the applicant’s age, social security number (SSN), and physical place of residence. The 2023 recent year PFD applications correspond with 2023 wage records, the most recent available. • Alaska unemployment insurance wage records for calendar year 2023. This information includes wage and salary worker earnings from all private, state and local government employers. Federal government, military, and self-employed earnings are not available and not included in the earnings estimate. • Calendar year 2022 Commercial Fisheries Entry Commissions (CFEC) total fish value data by community, the most recent data available. Distressed Community Report April 2024 To approximate the community/CDP income, DOL&WD combined the most recent fishery income and wage records. All 2023 PFD applicants age 16 and over in 2023 were assigned to an Alaska borough/census area and community by place of residence. PFD applicants age 16 and over were matched with wage and employment information by SSN. CFEC 2022 total fish values were added to wage and salary earnings to compute community average market income. The minimum wage was $10.85 in 2023. For a forty-hour work week, or 2,080 hours annually, the average market income threshold is $22,568. Surrogate Standard In 2000, the Denali Commission adopted a “surrogate standard” method for determining if a location is considered distressed. A location that meets two of the following three criteria is considered distressed. Criteria 1 - Average Market Income Average market income = Community Wage & Salary Earnings + Community CFEC Earnings Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with an average market income of less than $22,568 in 2023 meets this criterion. Criteria 2 - Percent of Residents Earning Less Than $22,568 Percent Residents w/Earnings < than $22,568 = 100 x Number Residents w/Earnings < than $22,568 Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with 70% (or more) of its residents earning less than $22,568 in 2023 meets this criterion. Criteria 3 – Percent of Residents Working All Four Quarters Percent Residents Employed All 4 Quarters = 100 x Number Residents Employed All 4 Quarters Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with 30% (or less) of its residents employed in all four quarters of 2023 meets this criterion.

Under the Expanded standard, the criteria are increased/decreased by 3% as appropriate, which results in more locations being classified as distressed. Again, a location must meet two of the following three criteria in order to be considered distressed. Criteria 1 - Average earnings less than $23,245* in 2023 * $22,568 x 1.03 Criteria 2 - 67%* (or more) residents earned less than $22,568 in 2023 * 70% - 3% Criteria 3 – 33%* of residents (or less) employed in all four quarters of 2023 * 30% + 3% Additional Locations Considered Distressed Based on the Expanded Standard Chalkyitsik Hoonah Kiana Pleasant Valley St. Mary's Deering Kake Mendeltna Point Hope Talkeetna Diamond Ridge Karluk Nanwalek Ruby Tatitlek Fort Yukon Kasaan Noorvik Salamatof Wales Homer Kasilof Nulato Saxman Appeals The Denali Commission recognizes that in some cases the data collection and application methodologies described above do not accurately reflect the appropriate classification for some communities. Therefore, any community that believes a “non-distressed” classification was determined in error may submit an appeal to the Commission. Appeal determinations will be made based on new information (relevant economic data and facts) submitted by the Community that demonstrate the data used by DOL&WD in their original analysis was erroneous, invalid, or outdated. New information must come from a verifiable source, and be robust and representative of the entire community and/or population. Page 5 Distressed Community Report April 2024 In addition to demonstrating the data compiled by DOL&WD was erroneous, invalid, or outdated, the new information must demonstrate that a community meets at least two of the three Surrogate Standard criteria, or two of the three expanded criteria defined above. Appeals with supporting data and facts must be sent in writing to: Denali Commission Attention: Director of Programs 550 W. 7th Ave, Suite 1230 Anchorage, AK 99501 The Denali Commission will make an appeal determination in collaboration with DOL&WD based on the new verifiable information presented. Communities filing an appeal will be notified of the decision on their appeal in writing, within 30 days. The following is a list of communities that have filed a successful appeal since 2001. This list is presented for historical purposes only. Communities that are classified as Non-Distressed by DOL&WD in any particular year, must file a new appeal for that year if they feel their status is in error.

To facilitate this investment focus the Center of Environmental Quality (CEQ) created the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) which shows the “disadvantaged communities” in Alaska. For many years, the Commission has focused its investments in “distressed communities.” The term “distressed communities” originates in the Commission’s annual appropriation language and determines the amount of non-federal funds needed to match the Commission’s funding. Most “distressed communities” are also “disadvantaged” and vice versa. However, there are some discrepancies and with this Addendum the Commission has decided to change its methodology of determining which communities are distressed by determining that all “disadvantaged communities” identified in the CEJST are also “distressed communities.” Page 6 Distressed Community Report April 2024 Master Community Lists The following tables summarize the status of individual communities and CDP’s based on DOL&WD analyses in 2023 and 2024.

DENALI2025distressed_communitiesAK5f1a6e3455d655c94194521b2440675bfaaeb3c2No data145107 2025 Distressed Communities Report April 2025 This 2025 annual update of the distressed community list was prepared by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOL&WD), Research and Analysis Section. DOL&WD used the most current population, employment and earnings data available to identify those Alaska communities and Census Designated Places (CDP’s) considered “distressed”. The distressed status is determined by comparing average income of a community or CDP to full-time minimum wage earnings, the percentage of the population earning greater than full-time minimum wage earnings and a measure of the percentage of the population engaged in year-round wage and salary employment. This report uses enhanced physical place of residence information to better identify the community/ of residence for Permanent Fund Dividend applicants age 16 and over. Communities and CDP’s included in this report are closely aligned with those used in the annual population place estimates prepared by DOL&WD. This document includes a list of all Alaska communities and CDP’s, and indicates whether they are considered distressed or non-distressed. The list also includes employment and earnings information used to determine the status of each location for 2025. Maps by economic region that show locations of communities and CDP’s that meet the distressed criteria are also included. Data Sources and Methodology Three sources of data were used for the 2025 update:  2024 Permanent Fund Dividend applications (PFD). This information includes the applicant’s age, social security number (SSN), and physical place of residence. The 2024 recent year PFD applications correspond with 2024 wage records, the most recent available.  Alaska unemployment insurance wage records for calendar year 2024. This information includes wage and salary worker earnings from all private, state and local government employers. Federal government, military, and self-employed earnings are not available and not included in the earnings estimate.  Calendar year 2023 Commercial Fisheries Entry Commissions (CFEC) total fish value data by community, the most recent data available. Distressed Community Report April 2025 To approximate the community/ income, DOL&WD combined the most recent fishery income and wage records. All 2024 PFD applicants age 16 and over in 2024 were assigned to an Alaska borough/census area and community by place of residence. PFD applicants age 16 and over were matched with wage and employment information by SSN. CFEC 2023 total fish values were added to wage and salary earnings to compute community average market income. The minimum wage was $11.73 in 2024. For a forty-hour work week, or 2,080 hours annually, the average market income threshold is $24,398.40. Surrogate Standard In 2000, the Denali Commission adopted a “surrogate standard” method for determining if a location is considered distressed. A location that meets two of the following three criteria is considered distressed. Criteria 1 - Average Market Income Average market income = Community Wage & Salary Earnings + Community CFEC Earnings Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with an average market income of less than $24,398.40 in 2024 meets this criterion. Criteria 2 - Percent of Residents Earning Less Than $24,398.40 Percent Residents w/Earnings < than $24,398.40 = 100 x Number Residents w/Earnings < than $24,398.40 Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with 70% (or more) of its residents earning less than $24,398.40 in 2024 meets this criterion. Criteria 3 – Percent of Residents Working All Four Quarters Percent Residents Employed All 4 Quarters = 100 x Number Residents Employed All 4 Quarters Number Residents 16 and Over Any location with 30% (or less) of its residents employed in all four quarters of 2024 meets this criterion.

Under the Expanded standard, the criteria are increased/decreased by 3% as appropriate, which results in more locations being classified as distressed. Again, a location must meet two of the following three criteria in order to be considered distressed. Criteria 1 - Average earnings less than $25,130.35* in 2024 * $24,398.40 x 1.03 Criteria 2 - 67%* (or more) residents earned less than $24,398.40 in 2024 * 70% - 3% Criteria 3 – 33%* of residents (or less) employed in all four quarters of 2024 * 30% + 3% Additional Locations Considered Distressed Based on the Expanded Standard Akhiok Chiniak Haines Moose Creek Salamatof Aleknagik Cohoe Houston Noatak Salcha Ambler Deltana Huslia Perryville Saxman Birch Creek Eureka Roadhouse Karluk Port Alexander Silver Springs Chignik Fort Yukon Kasilof Port Graham Talkeetna Chignik Lagoon Fritz Creek Kenny Lake Appeals The Denali Commission recognizes that in some cases the data collection and application methodologies described above do not accurately reflect the appropriate classification for some communities. Therefore, any community that believes a “non-distressed” classification was determined in error may submit an appeal to the Commission. Appeal determinations will be made based on new information (relevant economic data and facts) submitted by the Community that demonstrate the data used by DOL&WD in their original analysis was erroneous, invalid, or outdated. New information must come from a verifiable source, and be robust and representative of the entire community and/or population. Page 5 Distressed Community Report April 2025 In addition to demonstrating the data compiled by DOL&WD was erroneous, invalid, or outdated, the new information must demonstrate that a community meets at least two of the three Surrogate Standard criteria, or two of the three expanded criteria defined above. Appeals with supporting data and facts must be sent in writing to: Denali Commission Attention: Director of Programs 550 W. 7th Ave, Suite 1230 Anchorage, AK 99501 The Denali Commission will make an appeal determination in collaboration with DOL&WD based on the new verifiable information presented. Communities filing an appeal will be notified of the decision on their appeal in writing, within 30 days. The following is a list of communities that have filed a successful appeal since 2001. This list is presented for historical purposes only. Communities that are classified as Non-Distressed by DOL&WD in any particular year, must file a new appeal for that year if they feel their status is in error.

To facilitate this investment focus the Center of Environmental Quality (CEQ) created the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) which shows the “disadvantaged communities” in Alaska. For many years, the Commission has focused its investments in “distressed communities.” The term “distressed communities” originates in the Commission’s annual appropriation language and determines the amount of non-federal funds needed to match the Commission’s funding. Most “distressed communities” are also “disadvantaged” and vice versa. However, there are some discrepancies and with this Addendum the Commission has decided to change its methodology of determining which communities are distressed by determining that all “disadvantaged communities” identified in the CEJST are also “distressed communities.” Page 6 Distressed Community Report April 2025 Master Community Lists The following tables summarize the status of individual communities and CDP’s based on DOL&WD analyses in 2024 and 2025.

DENALI2023addendumAK3a30573790761a3166760768d5b2f20f761235b2No data2116 DENALI COMM ISSION Addendum to 2022 Distressed Communities Report On January 27, 2021, President Biden signed Executive Order 14008 making it a goal that 40 percent of overall benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities that are marginalized, underserved, and overburdened by pollution. To facilitate this investment focus the Center of Environmental Quality (CEQ) created the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST)which shows the “disadvantaged communities” in Alaska. For many years, the Commission has focused its investments in “distressed communities.” The term “distressed communities” originates in the Commission’s annual appropriation language and determines the amount of non-federal funds needed to match the Commission’s funding. Most “distressed communities” are also “disadvantaged” and vice versa. However, there are some discrepancies and with this Addendum the Commission has decided to change its methodology of determining which communities are distressed by determining that all “disadvantaged communities” identified in the CEJST are also “distressed communities.” With this change the list of distressed communities found on page 3 of the 2022 Distressed Communities Report is accurate but any “disadvantaged community” identified in the CEJST will also be considered a “distressed community” even if that community is listed as Non- distressed on page 4 of the 2022 Distressed Communities Report. This change is effective immediately.
