Which US states and counties produce the most, and where are incomes highest? The tables below rank all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, and every county-level area, by GDP, GDP per capita and average income, using the Bureau of Economic Analysis 2024 figures. Average income here means per capita personal income: total personal income divided by population. Click any column heading to sort. Below the tables you will find a map for every state showing its richest and poorest county by per capita income.
All 50 States Ranked by GDP, GDP per Capita and Average Income
GDP is in millions of current dollars. GDP per capita is state GDP divided by population. Average income is per capita personal income. All figures are BEA 2024. The District of Columbia is included for reference.
| # | State | GDP ($ million) | GDP per Capita | Average Income |

All US Counties Ranked by GDP, GDP per Capita and Average Income
The BEA publishes economic data for 3,115 county-level areas. In Virginia it combines 29 small independent cities with their surrounding counties, and in Hawaii it combines Kalawao with Maui, so those appear as combined areas. Use the search box to filter by county or state name.

The Richest and Poorest County in Every State
One map for each state: the richest and poorest county (parish in Louisiana, borough in Alaska, planning region in Connecticut) by per capita personal income, with the amount shown. The richest is in green and the poorest in red. Very small counties are circled so they are easy to spot. The District of Columbia is a single county equivalent, so it has no map.
Data Sources and Notes
GDP figures come from the Bureau of Economic Analysis GDP by County and GDP by State tables (current dollars, 2024). Income and population figures come from the BEA Personal Income by County tables (CAINC1, 2024). GDP per capita is calculated as GDP divided by BEA mid-year population. Average income is BEA per capita personal income, which includes wages, investment income and government benefits. Connecticut figures use the nine planning regions that replaced its counties.
