I'm guessing those red areas in Alaska are literally only because there are no roads.

That, or those people live in the place they work, or else only a few minutes away.

And the blue area is definitely "commute by boat", btw.

Alaska is a wild land of communities that shouldn't be possible. For a lot of the state the lack of people commuting by car can be simply attributed to the sheer cost of importing a car (assuming there are roads year round to get it to where you are) See Whittier and Bethel for examples

false, it's more accurate to say Suburbs don't really exist in Alaska. Primarily because it still hasn't really filled up the "urb" layer.
