Alaska's largest city by population at the head of Cook Inlet in South-Central Alaska — a working oil-pipeline + military + tourism economy. Downtown Anchorage and the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail are the walkable cores; most long-stays use Anchorage as a base for South-Central wilderness (Kenai Peninsula, Chugach State Park, Denali 4-5h north). US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. Alaska has no state income tax and pays residents a Permanent Fund Dividend annually. The structural draws are dramatic wilderness access, the long-summer-light midnight-sun calendar, and tax-friendly long-stay environment. Brutal winter cold and darkness are the practical filter.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
