Per Capita Income Growth Accelerated in 2004
State Per Capita Personal Income

Per capita income–the average income received by persons–grew 4.7 percent in 2004, more than double the 2.2 percent growth in the previous year, according to estimates released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. This is the fastest pace since 2000 when per capita income grew 6.8 percent. All states except South Dakota, Nebraska, and Michigan enjoyed faster growth.

Three sectors made notable contributions to faster U.S. personal income growth in 2004—professional services, finance, and construction. Their contributions across states were not uniform, however. Financial activities were a particularly strong accelerating force in the northeast (New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Delaware), construction in the west (Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, and Utah) and professional services more broadly across the country.

Three special factors played a prominent role in determining how states ranked in per capita personal income growth last year: the Microsoft dividend paid in December 2004, the payment automakers made in 2003 to reduce their unfunded pension liabilities, and the unusual coincidence of high crop production with high crop prices.

The top three states, North Dakota, Iowa, and South Dakota benefited from record or near–record production of corn, soybeans, and other crops, together with high prices due to poor harvests in various parts of the world and the low value of the dollar. A substantial portion (3.3 percentage points) of fourth–ranked Washington's growth is accounted for by dividends, interest, and rent and the residence in that state of many large Microsoft shareholders. At the other end of the rankings, last–place Michigan owes its slow growth to the fact that income in the prior year was boosted by the large contribution automakers made to the pension funds of their workers.

Mississippi's average income of $24,650, 25 percent below the national average, put it in last place. The bottom ten states, with the exception of Kentucky, were all ranked in the bottom ten last year. Last year Kentucky was eleventh from last and Alabama was tenth from last.

Fourth quarter personal income. U.S. personal income grew 2.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2004, the fastest pace since the first quarter of 2000 when income grew 3.4 percent. Excluding the Microsoft dividend personal income grew 1.5 percent, an acceleration from the 1.1 percent third–quarter growth rate. The Microsoft dividend also played an important role in relative state performance along with the farm sector, and third–quarter hurricanes. Washington's 10.4 percent personal income growth from the third quarter–almost three times higher than the growth of second–ranked South Dakota–reflects the residence in that state of many large Microsoft shareholders. The third–quarter hurricanes pulled down personal income in Florida, making its fourth quarter growth rate appear larger than otherwise and putting it in third place. (Without BEA's explicit adjustments for the hurricanes Florida would have grown 2.9 percent from the third quarter rather than 3.5 percent 1) These special factors pushed Nevada, whose sustained population growth makes it a perennial rapidly growing economy, from the top of the growth rankings into sixth place. Wyoming, Colorado, and Arizona, other states with relatively strong personal income growth, benefited from rising natural gas and copper prices which enabled some formerly closed mines to re–open.

/1/ There are other effects of the hurricanes on personal income that BEA is not able to estimate because they may occur with a lag and they cannot be disentangled from the regular source data that BEA uses to prepare its estimates. For example, to the extent that consumer spending and construction spending stimulated by the hurricanes boosted employment, this impact would be reflected in the wage data that BEA uses to prepare the personal income estimates.

Definitions

Personal income is the income received by all persons from all sources. Personal income is the sum of net earnings by place of residence, rental income of persons, personal dividend income, personal interest income, and personal current transfer receipts. Net earnings is earnings by place of work (the sum of wage and salary disbursements (payrolls), supplements to wages and salaries, and proprietors' income) less government contributions for social insurance, plus an adjustment to convert earnings by place of work to a place–of–residence basis. Personal income is measured before the deduction of personal income taxes and other personal taxes and is reported in current dollars (no adjustment is made for price changes).

The estimate of personal income in the United States is derived as the sum of the state estimates; it differs from the estimate of personal income in the national income and product accounts (NIPA's) because of differences in coverage, in the methodologies used to prepare the estimates, and in the timing of the availability of source data.

BEA groups all 50 states and the District of Columbia into eight distinct regions for purposes of data collecting and analyses: New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont); Mideast (Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania); Great Lakes (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin); Plains (Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota); Southeast (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia; Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas); Rocky Mountain (Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming); and Far West (Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington).
