Bering Straits Native Corporation Dashboard1
Population: The Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development's current (2012) population estimate for the Bering Straits Native
Corporation ANCSA region is 9,869, an increase of 7% from 2000.
Housing Units: There are currently 3,975 housing units in the Bering Straits Native Corporation ANCSA region. Of these, 2,756 are occupied, 241
vacant units are for sale or rent, and the remaining 978 are seasonal or otherwise vacant units (Profile Figure R6).
Energy: The average home in the Bering Straits Native Corporation ANCSA region is 1,136 square feet and uses 195,000 BTUs of energy per
square foot annually. This is 42% more than the statewide average of 137,000 BTUs per square foot per year.
Energy Costs: Using AKWarm estimates, average annual energy cost for homes in the Bering Straits Native Corporation ANCSA region is $7,900,
which is approximately 2.8 times more than the cost in Anchorage, and 3.7 times more than the national average (Profile Figure R13).
Energy Programs: Approximately 10% of the occupied housing units in the Bering Straits Native Corporation ANCSA region have completed
either the Home Energy Rebate or Weatherization programs, or have received BEES certification since 2008, compared to 21% statewide (Profile
Figure R12).
Housing Quality: Within current housing stock, newer homes have better energy performance. On average, homes built before 1940 are
currently rated at 1-star compared to a current average rating of 3-star-plus for homes built after 2000.
Air-tightness: Within current housing stock, newer homes are tighter. On average, homes built in the last decade exceed the 2012 BEES
standard of 4 air-changes per hour at 50 pascals (ACH50). In contrast, homes built before 1940 are 6.2 times leakier than those built since 2000
(Profile Figure R7).
Ventilation: An estimated 887 occupied housing units (or 32%) in the Bering Straits Native Corporation ANCSA region are relatively air-tight and
lack a continuous ventilation system. These houses are at higher risk of moisture and indoor air quality-related issues (Profile Figures R9-R10).
Overcrowding: Twenty two percent of occupied units are estimated to be either overcrowded (11%) or severely overcrowded (11%). This is
roughly 7 times the national average, and makes the Bering Straits Native Corporation region the third most overcrowded ANCSA region in the
state.
Affordability: According to American Community Survey (ACS) data, approximately 24% of households in the Bering Straits Native Corporation
region spend 30% or more of total income on reported housing costs, including rent, water and sewer utilities, and energy costs. Using AKWarm
estimates, the average annual energy costs constitute 15% of census median area income for occupied housing.

Bering Straits Native Corporation Summary
Community
The Bering Straits ANCSA region is located on the western coast of Alaska, bordered by the NANA region on the north, and the Calista region in
the south. Average home sizes in the region range from 593 square feet in Stebbins to 1,302 square feet in Nome.
Overcrowding
The Bering Straits ANCSA region is the third most overcrowded area in the state with 22% of occupied housing units with more than one person
per room (Figure R-I). Approximately
Figure R-I: Percent of Overcrowded Housing in Bering
6% of the housing in the region is
vacant and available for sale or rent.

Annual Energy Costs ($)
Regional average energy costs are
the third most costly ANCSA region
in the state, despite the relatively
small regional average home size of
1,136 square feet. Figure R-II shows
that annual energy costs vary by
community3, from a low of $3,994 in
Stebbins to a high of $8,457 in
Nome. Nome also has an average
annual energy use that is
approximately double that of
Stebbins, due at least partially to an
average home size that is more than
twice that found in Stebbins.

the ANCSA regions using an
estimated 195 kBTUs/ft2/yr. The
BSNC region also has the second
highest energy cost per square foot5
of the ANCSA regions at $8.82/ft2,
nearly 9 times the national average.
The energy use and cost per square
foot for communities in the BSNC
region are shown in Figure R-III.
Among communities with sufficient
AKWarm data for reporting, Nome
has both the lowest EUI and ECI in
the region at 150 kBTU/ft2 and
$7.16/ft2 respectively. Stebbins has
both the highest EUI and ECI at 175
kBTU/ft2 and $8.28/ft2respectively.

Weatherization program has varying levels of participation by community, from an estimated 0% participation in Savoonga to a high of 86% in
Stebbins completing a weatherization retrofit.

The majority of housing units in the Bering
Straits region use fuel oil for space heating
(Figure R-V). This is especially the case in
Nome, the region’s largest community, where
95% of space heating needs are met with fuel
oil. In other communities in the region wood
fuel is used more to supplement fuel oil as
evidenced by a 23% usage of wood fuel for
space heating region-wide. The lack of wood
heat in Nome is likely caused by limited
availability of wood in the community. Other
communities have trees available to use for
space heating needs.

VII
An estimated 18% of homes in the
region have a continuous mechanical
ventilation
or
heat
recovery
ventilation system, which is just
slightly lower than the percentage in
Nome (19%), the region's largest
community. Figure R-VI shows both
the
regional
ventilation
characteristics and those of Nome.
The Bering Straits region has the
second lowest percentage of homes
that are relatively air-tight but lack
continuous mechanical ventilation.
This suggests there are fewer homes
at risk of moisture and indoor air
quality-related issues, but likely
comes at a high energy penalty since
the Bering Straits region has, on
average, the second leakiest homes
in the state.

Affordability
Approximately 24% of households in
the Bering Straits Native Corporation
region are considered cost-burdened,
spending 30% or more of total
household income on housing costs.6
This is similar to the affordability
found in the neighboring ANCSA
regions of NANA and Calista (Figure RVI), which have an estimated 24% and
19% of cost-burdened housing units,
respectively. Affordability varies by
community in the region, ranging from
a low of 8% of cost-burdened housing
in Unalakleet to a high of 46% in
Brevig Mission. The percent of costburdened households in the six most
populous communities range from a
low of 8% in Unalakleet to a high of
44% in Savoonga.

CCHRC’s analysis of ACS energy costs indicate that there are systematic underestimations for rural Alaska, which suggests that ACS-based cost burdened
housing estimates are low. See Appendix A, "Analysis of American Community Survey Energy Cost Estimates" for more details.

Figure R-VIII shows the median
household incomes for the region
and the six most populous
communities along with housing and
energy costs.6 The lowest median
household income in the region is
$23,929 in Koyuk, and the highest
median income is $69,522, found in
Nome. Considering only the six most
populous communities, median
household incomes range between
$26,000 in Gambell and $69,522 in
Nome.

Community, Regional, and Statewide Housing Characteristics
This ANCSA region summary only includes the highlights of housing characteristics at the ANCSA regional level. A detailed data profile with
charts and tables for this region follows. The 2014 Alaska Housing Assessment provides a significant amount of data and analysis at statewide,
ANCSA region, census area, and community levels. This assessment provides a statewide analysis of housing characteristics, how they compare
to national numbers, and the estimated housing needs. Within the 2014 Alaska Housing Assessment, written summaries are available for each
individual ANCSA region and census area, and data profiles are available for each community and census area characterizing the housing stock
from the perspective of community, overcrowding, energy and affordability. These different tiers of information and analysis allow researchers,
housing authorities, policymakers and others to generate answers to specific questions. For a detailed discussion of estimating housing need
and comparison of methods to previous Housing Assessments, see Appendix B, "Statewide Need Assessment” of the 2014 Alaska Housing
Assessment.
