Data table

All 50 states and DC, A to Z. The Z statistic is Census’s test against the state ranked directly above; a value between -1.645 and 1.645 means the two are not statistically different.

Highest to lowest

An equals sign (equals sign) marks a state that is not statistically different from the next higher state: the gap between them is too small, given their margins of error, to say which is higher. The test is the Census Bureau’s: two estimates differ at the 90 percent confidence level when their difference, divided by the square root of the sum of their squared standard errors, is above 1.645 or below -1.645. Census cautions that overlapping confidence intervals are not a valid test, so the marks come from the test itself (U.S. Census Bureau, “Instructions for Applying Statistical Testing to American Community Survey Data” (2024)). The test compares neighbors only and does not adjust for making many comparisons; a run of marks is a group of states that cannot be put in order with confidence. Here 41 of the 50 neighboring pairs are not statistically different.

  • Covers: households.
  • Dollars are 2024 dollars. Each state’s profile also shows this income divided by the state’s 2024 regional price parity, a price-adjusted view the site computes; Census and BEA do not publish it, and it is not ranked. BEA’s real per capita personal income is the official price-adjusted income measure.
