Petersburg lands in the national county income distribution as below-median household income on low-population county-equivalent footing (FIPS 02195, 3 ZIPs, combined population 3,815). On this short ZIP list the county page is mainly the FIPS bridge - household ACS fields live on the primary ZIP.

Below-median income with few ZIPs: start cost-of-living reads on the primary code (99833), not the county mean. This page exists to join FIPS 02195 to HUD/FBI tables once the ZIP is chosen.

Combined population stays under five thousand - this is a thin rural FIPS. Bookmark one ZIP; a multi-ZIP shortlist rarely adds signal beyond the primary code's ACS row.

Within Alaska, Hoonah-Angoon is the closest lower-income county and Aleutians East the closest higher-income county by average ZIP household income. Their 5 and 4 ZIP footprints are the immediate statewide comparison set for Petersburg. Use those locations as statewide context before treating the county average as a local-market answer.
