As a US Citizen, there any Aleutian Islands in the Eastern Hemisphere that I can move to?

Attu Island is part of the state of Alaska.

At longitude 172Β°E it is to the west of the 180Β° longitude, which places it in the eastern hemisphere geometrically.

However it is to the east of the International Date Line, which places it in the western hemisphere geographically.

The population of Attu in the 2010 census was 20 people, all coast guard personnel at Attu Station, but they all departed later in the year when the station closed. It then became the largest uninhabited island in the United States. Its population is currently 0.

Semisopochnoi Island is similarly placed, but at longitude 179Β°E is the easternmost location of the USA (further east than Maine) (and paradoxically not as far from Alaska's mainland as Attu).

Perhaps you could volunteer to be a coast guard on Attu.
