REAL PERSONAL INCOME
FOR METROPOLITAN AREAS, 2013

Real personal income across all regions rose by an average of 0.8 percent in 2013. This growth rate
reflects the year-over-year change in nominal personal income across all regions adjusted by the change in the
national personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index. On a nominal basis, personal income across all
regions grew an average of 2.0 percent in 2013. In 2013, the U.S. PCE price index grew 1.2 percent.

Growth in real metropolitan area personal income in 2013 ranged from an increase of 4.8 percent in Sioux
City, IA-NE-SD to a decline of 3.1 percent in New Bern, NC. After Sioux City, IA-NE-SD, the metropolitan areas
with the largest growth rates were Janesville-Beloit, WI (4.6 percent), Danville, IL (4.4 percent), Monroe, MI (4.4
percent), and Boise City, ID (3.9 percent). After New Bern, NC, the metropolitan areas with the largest declines
were Beckley, WV (-3.0 percent), Fairbanks, AK (-2.9 percent), Peoria, IL (-2.9 percent), and Anniston-OxfordJacksonville, AL (-2.4 percent).

and economic data for states, local areas, and industries—are available on the BEA Web site: www.bea.gov. E-mail alerts
