F-22 Plus-Up Environmental Assessment 3.0 Affected Environment Average unemployment in Anchorage was 5.7 percent in 2003, and unemployment fluctuated between 4.1 percent and 7.4 percent during the decade from 1990-2000. 3.9.1.3 Public Services Daily operation of JBER and furnishing of services and support to base personnel and family members is the responsibility of the 673d Air Base Wing, the base host unit. Off-base public services are provided by a number of public and private entities. Police and fire protection services are provided by the Anchorage Police and Fire Departments, respectively. Anchorage Regional Hospital and various medical care providers offer health services in the area. The 673 d Medical Group, in collaboration with the Veterans Administration, provides JBER hospital and medical care. There are approximately 20,000 military retirees in the region. The Anchorage school district serves the JBER population, including three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. JBER provides youth programs, teen centers, and childcare services for military families residing and working on base. 3.9.2 Training Airspace Socioeconomic Existing Conditions Socioeconomic resources evaluated include areas around JBER as well as geographic areas under or proximate to the training airspace. The nine geographic areas identified on Figure 1.1- 1 are: • Anchorage Municipality – not under training airspace; • Bethel Census Area – partially under Stony MOAs; • Dillingham Census Area – partially under Naknek MOAs; • Fairbanks Northstar Borough – rural portions partially under Yukon MOAs and Viper A/B MOA; • Lake and Peninsula Borough – partially under Naknek 2 MOA; • Matanuska-Susitna Borough – rural portions partially under Susitna and Fox MOAs; • Southeast Fairbanks Census Area – partially under Yukon, Birch, and Buffalo MOAs; • Valdez-Cordova Census Area – not under training airspace; and • Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area – partially under Galena and Stony MOAs. 3.9.2.1 Population and Housing Lands under training airspace are very rural in nature, with sparsely scattered populations. Population data from the 2000 census provide for a consistent comparison among geographic areas. The 2010 census data are not expected to be available before summer 2011. With the exception of Anchorage Municipality, Fairbanks North Star, and the Matanuska- Susitna Borough, rural lands comprise two-thirds of the region. Rural population density is 0.4 to less than 0.1 persons per square mile (see Table 3.9-1). The population centers are included for reference although they are not directly affected by training airspace. The average Page 3-56
F-22 Plus-Up Environmental Assessment 3.0 Affected Environment household size in the regions ranges from 2.80 persons per household in the southeast Fairbanks census area to 3.73 persons per household in the Bethel census area. By comparison, the state and Anchorage average household sizes are 2.74 and 2.62 persons per household, respectively. Housing vacancy rates range from a low of 18.5 percent in Bethel to a high of 62.2 percent in Lake and Peninsula Borough. The vacancy rates are primarily due to seasonal occupancy. Table 3.9-1.
