Chiniak, Alaska

Chiniak (Cing’iyak in Alutiiq) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska, United States.

It was likely abandoned some point soon after, as it did not appear on the 1890 census or until 100 years later in 1990, after the area was resettled by non-natives and made a census-designated place.

37.5% of all households were made up of individuals, and 8.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

There were no families and 20.0% of the population living below the poverty line, including no under eighteens and none of those over 64.

Electricity, telephones, running water are available, as well as a paved highway most of the way to the village.
