1999 STATE PER CAPITA PERSONAL INCOME (Revised)
Massachusetts and four western states W ashington, Wyoming, California, and Colorado had the fastest growth in per capita personal income in the nation in 1999, according to revised estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), Commerce Department.
For the nation, per capita income grew 4.5 percent in 1999 to $28,542, after growing 5.6 percent in 1998 (see table 1). In 46 states, per capita income grew less in 1999 than in 1998. Prices paid by U.S. consumers (as measured by the price index for personal consumption expenditures) increased 1.8 percent in 1999 after increasing 1.1 percent in 1998. All 50 states and the District of Columbia had growth rates in per capita income that were above the increases in prices in both 1998 and 1999.
State per capita income growth in 1999
Fastest growing states.In 1999, the five states with the fastest growth in per capita income were Massachusetts (6.5 percent), Washington (6.1 percent), Wyoming (5.9 percent), California (5.8 percent), and Colorado (5.6 percent). Except for Wyoming, these states had per capita incomes above the U.S. average of $28,542.
In all five states, growth rates in personal income exceeded the U.S. average of 5.4 percent. In Washington, California, and Colorado, growth rates in population exceeded the U.S. average of 0.9 percent; population declined in Wyoming and grew at below-average rate in Massachusetts (see the chart below).

In all five fastest growing states in 1999, net earnings was the major contributor to personal income growth (see table 5, contribution to percent change in personal income, and Definitions on page 5).
Slowest growing states.In 1999, the four states with the slowest growth in per capita income were North Carolina (2.2 percent), Louisiana (2.2 percent), North Dakota (2.4 percent), and Alaska (2.4 percent). Except for Alaska, these states had per capita incomes below the U.S. average of $28,542.
In all four slowest growing states, personal income grew at below the U.S. average of 5.4 percent, and except in North Carolina, population either declined or grew at below the U.S. average of 0.9 percent.

for the U.S. and selected States, 199899
In all of the slowest growing states in 1999, personal income growth was held back by slow growth in net earnings. In North Carolina, a substantial decline in dividends, interest, and rent also contributed to the slow growth in personal income; the decline reflected losses resulting from damage caused by Hurricane Floyd.
Ranking of state per capita income
In 1999, per capita income ranged from $39,300 in Connecticut to $20,688 in Mississippi.
The ranking of states by per capita income changed little between 1998 and 1999. Only Wyoming increased more than two positions in rank, and North Carolina and Louisiana declined more than two positions in rank (see table 4).
The 10 states with the highest per capita incomes in 1999 were:

Revisions
The personal income estimates for the nation and states have been revised for 199799 to incorporate the annual revision of the national income and product accounts (NIPA's) that was released on August 1, 2000 and newly available state source data that are more complete, more detailed, and otherwise more appropriate than data previously available.
Revisions to the estimates of state personal income for 199799 are shown in table 6. For the nation, personal income was revised down 0.2 percent for 1997 and was revised up 0.4 percent for 1998 and 0.1 percent for 1999. For the states, the largest revisions are to the District of Columbia, which was revised up 2.4 percent in 1997, 3.6 percent in 1998, and 4.3 percent in 1999, and to Idaho, which was revised down 0.9 percent in 1997, 0.7 percent in 1998, and 2.6 percent in 1999. For the District of Columbia, upward revisions to dividends, interest, and rent in 199799 contributed to the upward revisions to personal income. For Idaho, downward revisions to dividends, interest, and rent in 199799, plus a downward revision to farm proprietors' income in 1999 contributed to the downward revisions in personal income.
