Where the males are

Alaska.com
Keeping in mind that Alaska is sometimes thought of as a place where "the odds are good but the goods are odd," which part of the state has the highest percentage of males?



Answer: The Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutian Islands have the highest percentage of men and boys.

The Aleutians East Borough -- home to Cold Bay, Sand Point, False Pass and Port Heiden -- leads the male parade with a population that's 64.9 percent male and 35.1 percent female, according to the 2000 census.

The Aleutians West Census Area, which includes the fishing port of Dutch Harbor/Unalaska, comes in a close second with 64.3 percent males.

The Juneau Borough has the highest percentage of women (50.4 male / 49.6 women), and it's also the place where the population is most balanced. The Anchorage and Haines boroughs tie for second (50.6 / 49.4).
