The map above shows each US state’s international trade surplus or deficit (or balance of trade) in goods per capita for the 11 months ending November 2024.
This includes both Manufactured Commodities and Non-Manufactured Commodities.
States in blue have a trade surplus in goods while those in red have a trade deficit.
The data comes from the US Census FT900 Release.
Unfortunately, they don’t include imports and exports of services in their figures for individual US states. Hence the map above can give a slightly misleading picture, because unlike goods, the US has an overall trade surplus in services.
Moreover, the numbers are for international trade in goods only and do include interstate trade.
Here are the numbers per state:
