5. What’s your inflation rate?
This unique project used microdata to see how inflation rates impact Americans of various ages.
The interactive chart shows how gas prices, which drove much of 2022
inflation, affect young Americans differently than older Americans. It
also illustrates how spending reflects the way families age: college
tuition spending eventually replaces daycare and preschool expenditures,
which is then overtaken by health care spending.
4. Tracking crime rates
People wanted to make sense of the crime numbers they were hearing in
the news this election season, so USAFacts parsed FBI data for a closer
look. The metrics showed that the 2020 national crime rate was 6.2% lower than in 2019. However, violent crime rose by 4.7%. The violent crime rate fell in most states from 1991 to 2020, but rose in 11.
3. How does GDP differ by state?
US gross domestic product (GDP) is a commonly covered topic at USAFacts, but readers were curious about how their state contributed specifically.
The nation’s GDP rose by 5.7% in 2021, the highest growth rate in 37
years. States with large populations tend to contribute more —
California, Texas, New York, Florida, and Illinois contributed 41% of
2021 GDP — but state productivity and income also factored in.
