Frequently asked questions

What is per capita income in the U.S.?

$77,028 in 2025, up 4.6% from $73,634 in 2024. It is total personal income, from pay, business, investments and government benefits, divided by everyone who lives here, children included.

District of Columbia at $119,772, then Connecticut ($102,307) and Massachusetts ($98,700).

Which state has the lowest?

Mississippi at $54,433, then West Virginia and Alabama.

Which state comes out ahead after cost of living?

District of Columbia. BEA’s real per capita income for 2024, which adjusts for each state’s prices, puts it first, ahead of Wyoming and Connecticut. District of Columbia ranks first on that measure.

Is per capita income the same as average salary?

No. It counts every resident, including children and retirees, and every kind of income, not only wages. Median household income is a different measure from the Census Bureau.

Once a year. BEA publishes each year’s state income in late September; 2025 is the newest.
