Anchorage Consumer Optimism Index: Q2 2024

The Anchorage Consumer Optimism Index is a survey of ~600 Anchorage residents using the Alaska Consumer Optimism Index survey tool.

The survey was performed by Alaska Survey Research and the report was generated by the Anchorage Economic Development Corporation. This work was made possible by the report sponsor, Furniture Enterprises of Alaska.

The index combines 3 components of consumer sentiment which are scored on a 100-point scale. Results above 50 indicate optimism and results below 50 indicate pessimism.

The Anchorage Consumer Optimism Index (ANCi) for April-June of 2024 was 41.7. That’s down from the second quarters of both 2023 and 2022.

Personal financial confidence has reached an all-time low for the second time this year, likely due to the effects of inflation on consumer’s households.

Future expectations rose slightly (+0.5) from the previous quarter and is the only component to score higher than in the second quarter of 2022.
