===1910 and 1920 censuses=== In 1910, Sitka was reported as two separate communities based on race: the village with mostly non-natives (population 539) and the part of the village with natives (population 500).<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/41033927n358-359ch10.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=June 11, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170830104030/https://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/41033927n358-359ch10.pdf |archive-date=August 30, 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref> Separately, they placed as the 15th and 17th largest communities. United, they would be 8th largest. For the purposes of comparison and the fact that the village was not officially politically/racially divided except by the census bureau report, the combined total (1,039) is reported on the historic population list. In 1913, Sitka was incorporated as a city, rendering the division by the census bureau for 1910 moot. In 1920, Sitka became the 4th largest city in the territory.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/41084484v1ch5.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=June 11, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170817233607/https://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/41084484v1ch5.pdf |archive-date=August 17, 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref> In 1930, it fell to 7th place with 1,056 residents. Of those, 567 reported as Native, 480 as White and 9 as Other.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/00476569ch2.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=June 11, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829115400/https://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/00476569ch2.pdf |archive-date=August 29, 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref> In 1940, it rose to 5th place, but did not report a racial breakdown.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/33973538v1ch11.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=June 11, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829194003/https://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/33973538v1ch11.pdf |archive-date=August 29, 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref>
