One source cited a Klawock median home value of $279,807, while a separate August 2026 source cited a materially higher $389,000 median listing price (itself down approximately 29%-30% year-over-year) -- a real, disclosed cross-source and volatility divergence. Even the lower figure runs approximately 32% below the ~$408,776 national median (base record).
An estimated, not city-confirmed, property tax rate
Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area is not an organized borough, so there is no borough-wide property tax administered centrally. This record uses the census-area-wide average (a real, disclosed spread of 0.51%-0.76% across sources reviewed) as an approximation, since a confirmed Klawock-city-specific rate was not found this pass (base record).
Alaska's no state income tax structure
Alaska levies no state individual income tax at all, a real, current, statewide structural benefit that applies in Klawock as it does everywhere else in the state (base record).

Given the real, disclosed spreads on both population and housing price, and the estimated (not city-specific) property tax figure, confirm current listings, tax, and job-market data directly with Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area or City of Klawock resources.
