Real GDP Growth by State 2025

About This Dataset

Real GDP Growth by State 2025
What this chart shows. How much the economy of each state grew in 2025 after adjusting for inflation, as the percentage change in real GDP from 2024. Delaware grew fastest at 5.1%, ahead of Alaska at 4.7% and California at 3.5%. The chart lists the 49 places that grew; Iowa (-0.4%) and the District of Columbia (-1.0%) shrank and are left out.

How the data is collected. Real GDP is BEA's GDP measured in chained 2017 dollars, which removes the effect of price changes so that years can be compared. We calculated each growth rate from BEA's unrounded 2024 and 2025 values in table SAGDP1.

Background. US real GDP grew 2.3% in 2025, and 17 of the 49 places in the chart grew faster than that. At the slow end, Minnesota (0.7%), North Dakota (0.5%) and Wyoming (0.1%) barely grew.

Limits. Growth rates for small economies can swing on a single industry, and they are often revised: this release already revised the 2018 to 2025 figures. Because real GDP is chained, state values do not add up exactly to the national total.
Analysis

North Dakota's economy grew only 0.5% in real terms in 2025, yet its personal income rose 6.7%, the third-fastest of any state.
