Groceries and healthcare drive the prices, with groceries especially steep in Juneau. Healthcare costs are down in Alaska, now ranking fifth, while utilities in Fairbanks are double the national average. Inflation in urban Alaska was surprisingly low last year, thanks to a slower post-pandemic recovery and Alaska’s position at the end of the supply chain, which means higher energy and goods prices are likely to stick around.
