Its population is approximately 291,247. The city&#8217;s population is 63.8% White, 10.0% Asian, 9.1% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 6.0% African American. The median age in Anchorage is 42.8 years. The city is composed of roughly 50.9% men and 49.1% women. There are also approximately 6% veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the city is home to many migratory species, it is also home to many year-round residents. In fact, the city supports a large variety of small land birds. Of these, nearly 90 species can be found in the Anchorage Bowl, which is a natural habitat. Some of the smaller resident species include flycatchers, jays, ravens, swallows, chickadees, and thrus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When visiting the city, it&#8217;s important to buy a gift to remember your trip. There are many souvenir shops, galleries, and craft shows, as well as outdoor markets featuring locally produced crafts and Alaska Native art. In addition to gifts, Anchorage also features a wide range of gourmet food, Alaskan Native art, and wild-caught Alaska seafood. Its museums are also worth exploring. But don&#8217;t stop there. There&#8217;s so much more to do and see in Anchorage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a truly unique experience, visit the Sarah D.V.M. gift shop, which features a vast selection of Alaskan souvenirs. You can even purchase hand-made soap from the locals, and buy tickets to watch a movie. Reindeer can be petted at the Superman Theater. The theater&#8217;s manager, Lauren, is a knowledgeable reindeer expert. A good place to visit is the Alaskan RR&#8217;s museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the museum, you can also find some interesting Alaskan gifts. You can buy Alaskan art, souvenirs, and apparel from locally-owned stores. The Alaska Railroad is owned by the state, and the store offers dozens of passenger services and event trains. More than half a million people visit the city each year! The town&#8217;s name derives from the first letters of the state&#8217;s capital, which means it&#8217;s a storied place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the museum, Anchorage is home to a unique collection of gift shops. Grizzlys Gifts is a locally owned shop that offers Alaskan souvenirs and local items at affordable prices. The owners&#8217; goal is to offer the highest quality Alaska souvenirs at the lowest prices. If you&#8217;re looking for a unique gift, you should stop by Polar Bear Gifts. Its store is one of the best-stocked in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city&#8217;s green color is evident in the aerial view. The city&#8217;s natural spaces are filled with paths that follow Campbell Creek and Chester Creek. Further east, the Chugach Mountains rise rapidly. The Chugach Mountains are home to wildlife and are one of the largest state parks in the country. The park is only 20 minutes away from most neighborhoods in Anchorage. While there are many outdoor activities, it&#8217;s important to be careful to avoid any activity that could be harmful to a city&#8217;s wildlife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The city of Anchorage, Alaska is the largest of the state&#8217;s seven metropolitan areas.
