Falling multi-year filing trend
Alaska in the thin-volume third
1,243 FY2024 filings put Alaska in the lightest third by raw volume (#46); year-to-year swings are noisier, so pair counts with the per-capita band. Chapter 7 liquidations dominate at 75% (upper-third Chapter 7 share); Chapter 13 is 23% - a liquidation-leaning court culture relative to repayment-heavy peers.
On a thin volume book, the 10-year swing (declined 42.5%) can be a few hundred cases - read the year table in absolute counts. 1 district; business filings 97 (Ch.11 18). Unemployment 4.4% (2023).
