Per capita personal income grew 4.6 percent in 2005, slightly less than the 5.0 percent growth in 2004 according to estimates released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. Growth rates in most states were tightly clustered about the national average; however, Louisiana's 9.1 percent decline was notably slower while Wyoming's 7.3 percent increase was notably higher.
The decline in Louisiana was a consequence of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Personal income was reduced $26.8 billion to reflect uninsured losses of residential and business fixed assets owned by households and was raised $8.5 billion to reflect net insurance settlements associated with the hurricanes In addition net earnings fell $1.6 billion or 1.9 percent.
Wyoming's strong performance is attributable to its mining industry. That industry contributed more than two percentage points to earnings growth. Wyoming not only grew rapidly last year, its per capita personal income increased faster than every other state from 2001 to 2005.
Among regions, the Great Lakes had the slowest growth in 2005. The weakness reflects difficulties in the durable manufacturing sector, especially motor vehicles and parts. After declining 3.4 percent in 2004 durable manufacturing earnings grew only 0.8 percent last year, substantially less than they increased in every other region.
In contrast, the strength of the Southwest is largely attributable to its durable manufacturing (particularly machinery and computers) and mining sectors. Not only did this region gain population at twice the national rate, it also had the largest percentage increase in per capita income as well.
Personal income growth rankings. The state personal income growth rankings reflect very definite regional patterns (see map). The Great Lakes Region is the weakest; most of the slowest growing states in the country are located there and in the adjacent Plains region. In contrast, the Rocky Mountain and Southwest Regions comprise most of the country's fastest growing states.
Per capita income rankings. Connecticut led the nation with a per capita income of $47,819, 38 percent above the national average. The top ten states with the highest per capita income in 2005 were all ranked in the top ten last year, although some of the states traded places.
Louisiana's per capita income of $24,820, 28 percent below the national average, put it in last place. It should be noted, however, that state per capita income is calculated using population as of July 1, 2005. Several hundred thousand people left Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina so that per capita income computed using end of year population would be about 7 percent higher.
The bottom ten states, with the exception of Alabama, were all ranked in the bottom ten last year. Last year Alabama was eleventh from last and Montana was tenth from last.

Fourth quarter personal income. U.S. personal income grew 2.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005, faster than in any other quarter of the current expansion except for the 3.0 percent growth in 2004:IV when the special Microsoft dividend was paid. The current growth surge reflects a rebound in Louisiana where personal income nearly doubled after falling by half in the third quarter. This extreme income oscillation results from accounting for all of the uninsured fixed residential assets destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in the third quarter. Mississippi's personal income exhibits a similar, though much attenuated oscillation, declining 3.4 percent in the third quarter and rising 7.0 percent in the fourth.
Even excluding Louisiana, fourth quarter personal income growth (1.72 percent) was the second highest of the expansion. States in the Plains region, boosted by the farm sector, tended to grow slightly faster than average. States in the Great Lakes region tended to grow the slowest, despite a resurgence in its crucial manufacturing sector. For the first time in two years manufacturing earnings in the Great Lakes grew faster than they grew nationally.
NOTE.–Quarterly estimates are expressed at seasonally adjusted annual rates, unless otherwise specified. Quarter to–quarter dollar changes are differences between published estimates. Quarter-to–quarter percent changes are calculated from unrounded data and are not annualized.
Definitions
Personal income is the income received by all persons from all sources. Personal
income is the sum of net earnings by place of residence, rental income of persons, personal dividend
income, personal interest income, and personal current transfer receipts. Net earnings is earnings
by place of work (the sum of wage and salary disbursements (payrolls), supplements to wages and
salaries, and proprietors' income) less contributions for government social insurance, plus an
adjustment to convert earnings by place of work to a place–of–residence basis. Personal income is
measured before the deduction of personal income taxes and other personal taxes and is reported in
current dollars (no adjustment is made for price changes).
The estimate of personal income in the United States is derived as the sum of the
state estimates; it differs from the estimate of personal income in the national income and product
accounts (NIPAs) because of differences in coverage, in the methodologies used to prepare the
estimates, and in the timing of the availability of source data.
BEA groups all 50 states and the District of Columbia into eight distinct regions
for purposes of data collecting and analyses: New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont); Mideast (Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland,
New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania); Great Lakes (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and
Wisconsin); Plains (Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota);
Southeast (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia); Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
and Texas); Rocky Mountain (Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming); and Far West (Alaska,
California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington).
