Which US States Have The Highest GDP Per Capita?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Where you live in the U.S. can make a huge difference in economic output per person. <\/strong><\/p>\n

GDP per capita varies widely across states, from under $60,000 in Mississippi to nearly $280,000 in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

This chart, produced by Visual Capitalist’s Jenna Ross<\/a>, in partnership with\u00a0Terzo<\/a>, breaks down GDP per capita in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

GDP per Capita by State<\/h2>\n

Washington, D.C. has the highest GDP per capita. <\/strong>The capital\u2019s economy is concentrated in high-value professional services like consulting, IT, and legal, as well as government spending.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Its large commuter workforce from outside states also boosts the figure, as many workers contribute to economic output without being counted in the local population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

New York takes the second spot as a global financial hub with strong output in other high-value industries, including real estate and professional services.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Massachusetts and Washington also top the ranks. While Massachusetts drives value through professional services like biotechnology, Washington is home to\u00a0big tech<\/a>\u00a0companies like Amazon and Microsoft.<\/p>\n

Resource Economies<\/h2>\n

Outside of more service-based economies, both North Dakota and Alaska pump out over $100,000 in GDP per capita.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both states are driven by natural resources and mining, ranking as the third (North Dakota) and fifth-highest (Alaska) producers of crude oil in America. These states also have some of the lowest populations in the country, driving up output per person.<\/p>\n

More recently in 2026, both states have seen monetary benefits from\u00a0oil transport<\/a>\u00a0disruptions and rising prices. North Dakota typically sells crude oil at a discount to benchmark pricing, but has been earning $7 more per barrel above the benchmark. In Alaska, the state recently increased its projected revenue by\u00a0$0.5 billion\u00a0<\/strong>as a result of higher oil prices.<\/p>\n

Maximizing Value<\/h2>\n

As economies push to create more value per person, businesses are also focused on getting more from what they have.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
