Badger, AK

Badger is a census-designated place in the Fairbanks North Star Borough, one of the suburban and outlying areas around Fairbanks that was defined for the 2010 census. It is not a compact town with a traditional center; it is more a spread-out residential area in Alaska's Interior, shaped by roads, subdivisions, winter climate, and proximity to Fairbanks and North Pole. For people looking at the area, Badger reads as part of the everyday Fairbanks orbit: practical, cold, road-connected, and more residential than tourist-facing.
