Skagway's roughly 1,000 residents — many tied to cruise tourism and the historic White Pass railroad — delivered a 44-point Democratic presidential margin in 2024, making it one of Alaska's most lopsided jurisdictions despite its rugged, isolated geography.
The Democratic margin in Skagway Municipality reached its widest at fifty points in 2020. The margin in 2024 was forty-five points — still decisive.
Skagway Municipality's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $81,136, a 70% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 1,244 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Alpine County and Cook County.
