Quick validation snapshot
New York has the highest estimate ($123,273); Mississippi has the lowest ($55,117). The U.S. benchmark is $90,294. These are useful checks when importing the CSV into a spreadsheet. Reference jurisdictions may lie outside the 50-state range, so exclude rows marked reference when reproducing the default state ranks.
BEA does not publish margins of error for state GDP. Estimates are revised as source data improve; recent years change the most.
Calculation and reproducibility
Current-dollar GDP (BEA SAGDP1 line 3) × 1,000,000 / July 1 resident population of the same year (Census Vintage 2025). BEA does not publish GDP per capita by state.

Limits and reuse
GDP per person is not income per person. States where many workers commute in from elsewhere, or with large capital-intensive industries such as energy or finance, have high GDP per capita relative to residents’ incomes.
