Update of state statistics
Today, BEA also released revised quarterly estimates of personal
income by state for the first quarter of 2024 through the third quarter
of 2024. This update incorporates new and revised source data that are
more complete and more detailed than previously available and aligns the
states with the national estimates from the National Income and Product
Accounts released on March 27, 2025.
BEA also released new estimates of per capita personal income for the
fourth quarter of 2024, along with revised estimates for the second
quarter of 2020 through the third quarter of 2024. BEA used U.S. Census
Bureau population figures to calculate per capita personal income
estimates for the second quarter of 2020 through the fourth quarter of
2024. BEA also used new Census Bureau population figures to update
annual 2020 to 2023 per capita personal income statistics and to produce
new per capita personal income statistics for 2024.
