Anchorage had 291,247 residents at the 2020 census. Together with the neighbouring Matanuska-Susitna Borough, its metropolitan area contains more than half of Alaska's population.

The central grid is small compared with the municipality's enormous land area. Roads spread toward the coast and mountain terrain, becoming more widely spaced beyond downtown.

Downtown Anchorage, its regular grid, and outer arterial roads fit within 4.0 km. Coastal land begins where the surrounding network opens out.

Cool coastal colors place Anchorage against its northern setting. Strong contrast separates the compact downtown grid from sparse outer roads.
