Chignik Bay reported a population of 193 in 1890[8] (which was majority Asian (121), with 66 White residents, 5 Native Alaskans & 1 Other).

It did not report again until 1910 when it had a total of 566 residents, which made it the 13th largest community in the territory of Alaska.

Seven households were individuals, and 10 consisted of a sole occupant 65 years of age or older.
