REAL PERSONAL INCOME
FOR STATES, 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 state personal income in 2013 ranged from an increase of 3.5 percent in Idaho to a decline
of 4.4 percent in North Dakota. These growth rates reflect the year-over-year change in the state’s nominal
personal income, the change in the national PCE price index, and the change in the regional price parity for that
state. After Idaho, the states with the largest growth rates were Utah (2.3 percent), California (2.2 percent),
Nebraska (2.2 percent), and South Dakota (2.0 percent). After North Dakota, the states with the largest rates of
decline were New Mexico (-0.6 percent), New York (-0.4 percent), Maryland (-0.3 percent), and Montana (-0.2
percent). States with growth rates close to the national average were Wyoming (0.8 percent), Oklahoma (0.7
percent), Ohio (0.7 percent), New Hampshire (0.7 percent), and Illinois (0.7 percent).

BEA data—including GDP, personal income, the balance of payments, foreign direct investment, the input-output accounts,
and economic data for states, local areas, and industries—are available on the BEA Web site: www.bea.gov. E-mail alerts
are also available.
NOTE: The next release of Real Personal Income for States and Metropolitan Areas will be in July 2016.
