Saint Michael has continued to report in every successive census to date.

During the gold rush of 1897, it was a major gateway to the Alaskan interior via the Yukon River Delta (located about 40 miles (64 km) to the southwest).

The St. Michael economy is based on subsistence food harvests (hunting, fishing and gardening) supplemented by part-time wage earning.

Most wage-earning positions are in city government, the IRA council and village corporation, schools and local stores.

Some residents hold commercial fishing permits, primarily for the herring fishery.
