How Big is Alaska?
Compare Rhode Island to Alaska Share Alabama Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming
Alaska Is Big!
- You could fit Rhode Island into Alaska 425 times! One-fifth the size of the Lower 48, Alaska is bigger than Texas, California, and Montana combined!
- Alaska is also far-flung: 62.5 times wider (east to west) and 29.1 times taller (north to south) than Rhode Island. From north to south, Alaska measures 1420 miles, the distance from Denver to Mexico City, and east to west 2500 miles, the distance from Savannah, GA to Santa Barbara, CA. See detailed Alaska maps.
- Alaska also has the most northern point (Point Barrow) and the most western point (Cape Wrangell, Alaska -- further west than Hawaii) in the U.S.
Water & Coastline
- Alaska has 74 times as much inland water (in lakes, reservoirs, and rivers) as Rhode Island. In fact, Alaska has 3 million lakes over twenty acres big.
- Alaska has more than 50% of the entire U.S. coastline, or 6,640 miles. Rhode Island has 40 miles of coastline!
Population Density
- Rhode Island has 705 times more people per square mile.
- If Rhode Island's population density were the same as Alaska’s, only 1,527 people would live in Rhode Island rather than 1,076,164 (based on 2003 data).
High Point
- Alaska’s high point, Mt. Denali (20,320 feet), rises 3.7 miles above Rhode Island’s high point, Jerimoth Hill, at 812 feet.
- Not only is Mt. Denali the highest mountain in North America, but Alaska has 15 other peaks higher than any in the continental U.S.
Road Density
- Alaska has 640 sq. miles of land for every mile of paved road. Rhode Island has 6 sq. miles of land for every mile of road. In other words, Alaska’s land-to-road ratio is 109.8 times greater.
- Only 20% of Alaska’s roads are paved versus on average 91% for the other 49 states. During the long, cold grip of winter, Alaskans build ice roads to traverse rivers and ground that is otherwise too soft to drive.
Air Travel
- Alaska has 8.9 times more active pilots per capita than Rhode Island.
- Alaska has 102 seaplane bases, far more than any other state.
