Map of the United States with Alaska highlighted.

Changes for 2020 include the addition of five census-designates places: Eareckson Station (last gazetted in 1980), Mill Bay, North Lakes, Petersburg (a former city), and South Lakes. Five former census-designates places counted for the 2010 census were not included in 2020:[3] Edna Bay, incorporated in 2014;[4] Lakes, split into North Lakes and South Lakes; New Allakaket, annexed by neighboring Allakaket in March 2015;[5] Northway Junction, merged with Northway;[6] and Whale Pass, incorporated in 2017.[7]

Changes for 2010 include the addition of twelve new census-designated places: Badger, Chena Ridge, Eureka Roadhouse, Farmers Loop, Goldstream, Loring, Mertarvik, Nabesna, Point Possession, South Van Horn, Steele Creek, and Whitestone. Six former census-designated places counted for the 2000 census were not included in 2010: Alpine, Copperville (merged into Tazlina CDP), Cube Cove, Miller Landing (annexed to Homer city), Meyers Chuck and Thoms Place (both incorporated into Wrangell city and borough). Two former CDPs became cities: Adak (incorporated in 2001) and Gustavus (incorporated in 2004). Skagway (disincorporated in 2007) is now a census-designated place. Finally, one census-designated place has a new name: Y is now Susitna North.[8][9][10]
