The US Bureau of Economic Analysis released revised state GDP and personal income figures for 2025 on September 30, 2026. The US economy grew 2.3% after inflation, but the states moved very differently: Delaware grew 5.1%, while Iowa and the District of Columbia shrank. We turned the release into five charts covering the 50 states and DC.
| Chart | Highest | Value | Lowest |
|---|---|---|---|
| GDP by State 2025 | California | $4,297.4B | Vermont · $49.7B |
| Real GDP Growth by State 2025 | Delaware | 5.1% | Wyoming · 0.1% |
| GDP per Capita by State 2025 | District of Columbia | $278,205 | Mississippi · $55,117 |
| Per Capita Personal Income by State 2025 | District of Columbia | $119,772 | Mississippi · $54,433 |
| Personal Income Growth by State 2025 | Hawaii | 7.1% | Wyoming · 3.8% |
Size of the economy
US GDP reached $30.86 trillion in current dollars. California alone produced $4.30 trillion, more than New York and Florida combined, and Texas was second with $2.93 trillion. Vermont had the smallest economy.
Growth
In real GDP growth, Delaware (5.1%) and Alaska (4.7%) led. Iowa's real GDP fell 0.4% and the District of Columbia's 1.0%. Personal income still rose everywhere, fastest in Hawaii (7.1%) and slowest in Wyoming (3.8%); in Iowa it grew 4.0%.
Per person
GDP per person was $90,294 for the country, highest in the District of Columbia ($278,205) and New York ($123,273), lowest in Mississippi ($55,117). Personal income per person was $77,028; Connecticut was the highest state at $102,307 and Mississippi the lowest at $54,433. One reason the two measures differ is that GDP is counted where people work and income where they live.
About the data
All figures come from BEA tables SAGDP1 and SAINC1. GDP per person is our own calculation from BEA's GDP and population figures. The September release revised earlier estimates: BEA's April figures, as listed on Wikipedia, put 2025 US GDP at $30.762 trillion.
