Fairbanks NS Boro Census Region
population: 84,791
The Fairbanks North Star Borough is located in the heart of Interior Alaska. It is the second most populated region in the state. The City of Fairbanks lies at the confluence of the Richardson, George Parks, Steese, and Elliot highways, with road access to Anchorage, Canada, and the lower 48 states. The Alaska Railroad links the city to Anchorage, while air carriers provide passenger service to Seattle, Canada, and Alaska destinations. In addition to serving as the region's transportation hub, Fairbanks is the economic, medical, educational, and cultural center of Interior Alaska. Originally founded as a trading post, Fairbanks soon became a gold mining community, a distinction it retains with the Fort Knox mine. The region's history, dramatized in the novels of Jack London, now attracts large numbers of tourists.
Two local refineries process North Slope crude oil.
Uniformed personnel at Eilson Air Force Station and Fort Wainwright play an important role, generating enough civilian jobs to make the Department of Defense the borough's second largest employer.
The University of Alaska Fairbanks, with a distinguished faculty and excellent programs, attracts students from across the nation. It is also the borough's largest employer.
The native people of the region are served by Tanana Chiefs Conference, Inc., which is based in Fairbanks and provides health and social services as well as employment and training.
