State distribution and comparisons

The middle of the 50-state distribution is $81,493: the average of the 25th and 26th ordered state estimates. This treats each state equally, so it answers a different question from a population-weighted national estimate.

Does economic output per person match household income?

These states’ ranks change the most between gdp per capita and median household income. These comparisons identify different questions worth investigating; a rank gap does not measure a causal effect or a statistical difference between unlike units.

What this ranking measures

Current-dollar GDP divided by the July 1 resident population, in dollars per person.

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.

The size of the gap

The difference between the highest and lowest state estimates is $68,155. The U.S. benchmark is $90,294. It is not a simple average of the states.

16 states have point estimates above the U.S. benchmark and 34 below it. These counts do not establish statistical significance.

How much should you read into a rank?

BEA does not publish margins of error for state GDP. Estimates are revised as source data improve; recent years change the most. “Not published” means uncertainty is not quantified here, not that the estimates are exact.

Ranks use the full precision of the source file, so only truly equal values share a rank (1, 2, 2, 4).

Calculation
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. Rank = 1 + number of eligible jurisdictions with a higher value.
Coverage
The 50 states are ranked. Washington, D.C., can be added with the toggle above the table; Puerto Rico is shown for reference only, where the source covers it.
Cadence
Quarterly and annual; earlier years are revised. December 23, 2026 (state GDP, third quarter 2026), subject to the BEA release schedule.
Independence
Rank the States is independent. The agencies that produce the source data do not endorse these rankings.
