I came to the same result. One thing made me wonder a bit.

On this map http://climate.gi.alaska.edu/history/Arctic/BarrMap.gif I found that around Barrow there are two minor towns; Browerville and Nuwuk. It would be fine to get a confirmation if they also are included in the population of 4,581 or not. If not, Barrow is most likely the northernmost town of the World.

Here I found a nice photo of Barrow: http://www.kingeider.net/king5.html
