METROPOLITAN AREA PERSONAL INCOME AND PER CAPITA PERSONAL INCOME: 1999

Strong earnings growth in "new economy" industries like business services and communications contributed to rapid personal income growth for the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas in 1999, according to estimates released today by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the U.S. Department of Commerce.1

Fastest growing metropolitan areas, 1999

Of the 10 fastest growing metropolitan areas, six were located in California. All 10 areas had growth in earnings—wages and salaries, other labor income, and proprietors' income—that exceeded the national average of 6.4 percent by at least 3.5 percentage points. Much of the strength in earnings reflects strong earnings growth in new economy industries. All 10 areas had strong growth in business services, a new economy industry, which includes software development, prepackaged software, data processing services, and computer rental and leasing. In addition:

  • San Jose, the fastest growing metropolitan area, had strong earnings growth in two other new economy industries—industrial machinery and equipment manufacturing, which includes computer manufacturing, and in electronics and other electric equipment manufacturing, which includes semiconductor manufacturing.
  • Austin-San Marcos, the second fastest growing area, had strong earnings growth in wholesale trade and in industrial machinery and equipment.
  • San Diego, Oakland, and Denver had strong earnings growth in communications, a new economy industry that includes telephone, satellite, and multimedia services. Communications earnings for San Diego increased over 200 percent in 1999.
  • Vallejo-Fairfield-Napa had strong earnings growth in finance, insurance, and real estate, and in food and kindred products manufacturing.
  • Yuba City had strong growth in farm earnings and in food and kindred products manufacturing.

 

The 1999 growth in Austin-San Marcos, Las Vegas, Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, and Denver continued a pattern of strong growth in recent years. Since 1997, Austin-San Marcos has ranked no lower than third during this period. The two fastest growing areas in 1998, Austin-San Marcos and Seattle- Bellevue-Everett, are ranked second and third, respectively, in 1999. Seven of the 10 fastest growing metropolitan areas in 1999 had personal income growth in 1998 that exceeded the national average of 6.6 percent; while nine of the 10 areas exceeded the 1997 national average of 6.0 percent. Yuba City had below average growth in 1997 and 1998 because of declines in farm earnings.

Slowest growing metropolitan areas, 1999

All 10 of the slowest growing metropolitan areas had growth in earnings that were less than the national average by at least 3.5 percentage points. Five of the slowest growing areas were in the Southeast Region; three were in the Southwest Region; and two were in the Plains Region. Four of the 10 areas—Odessa-Midland, Houma, Lafayette, and Enid—had declines in energy-related industries. In addition:

  • Anniston had declines in both federal civilian and military earnings due to the closing of Fort McClellan.
  • Grand Forks had declines in military earnings caused by a reduction at Grand Forks Air Force Base, as well as in farm earnings.
  • Waterloo-Cedar Falls had a decline in industrial machinery and equipment manufacturing earnings.
  • Beaumont-Port Arthur had declines in several industrial categories, such as legal services, construction, chemicals and allied products manufacturing, and water transportation.
  • Two North Carolina metropolitan areas—Rocky Mount and Goldsboro—had sharp declines in rental income due to flooding caused by Hurricane Floyd.

Of the 10 areas with the slowest growth in 1999, only Houma had above average personal income growth in 1998. Seven of the 10 areas grew faster than the nation in 1997. Odessa-Midland and Houma went from being the second and fourth fastest growing metropolitan areas in 1997 to being the second and third slowest growing areas in 1999, reflecting the cyclical nature of the mining industry.

Per capita personal income levels, 1999

The 10 metropolitan areas with the highest levels of 1999 per capita personal income (PCPI) were located on either the east or west coasts. San Francisco, with a 1999 PCPI of $49,695, continued to have the highest PCPI in the nation.

Five of the metropolitan areas—New Haven-Bridgeport-Stamford-Waterbury, Bergen-Passaic, Middlesex-Somerset-Hunterdon, Trenton, and New York— were part of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT-PA consolidated metropolitan statistical area (CMSA).

Note to correspondents: A narrative summary, BEA Regional Facts (BEARFACTS), of personal income and per capita personal income, components of income, and earnings by industry is available for each metropolitan area and for counties for the latest ten year (1989–99) and most current year (1998–99) periods. To access BEARFACTS for any area on BEA's Web site, go to /regional/bearfacts/.

The complete set of local area income and employment estimates are now available interactively on BEA's Web site. Go to /regional/reis/ to access these estimates.

Data on personal income and per capita personal income for BEA regions, states, and metropolitan areas, as well as data for counties, will be presented in the May issue of the Survey of Current Business, the monthly journal of the Bureau of Economic Analysis. See the end of this release for information on obtaining issues of the Survey of Current Business in printed form and on BEA's Web site. The full detail of the local area personal income estimates is available on a CD–ROM for $35.00. For further information, call (202) 606-5360.

Definitions

Personal income is the income received by all persons from participation in production, from government and business transfer payments, and from government interest. Personal income is the sum of net earnings by place of residence, rental income of persons, personal dividend income, personal interest income, and transfer payments. Net earnings is earnings by place of work—the sum of wage and salary disbursements (payrolls), other labor income, and proprietors' income—less personal contributions for 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 county estimates; it differs from the estimate of personal income in the national income and product accounts (NIPA's) because of differences in coverage and in the timing of the availability of source data.

As part of personal income, BEA prepares estimates of wage and salary disbursements by State and county. The Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) also prepare county-level estimates of wages and salaries.

The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns (CBP) employment and payroll data are an annual extension of the quinquennial economic censuses; the data are derived from surveys of business establishments and from Federal administrative records of the Internal Revenue Service, the Social Security Administration, and BLS. The data exclude agricultural production employees, household employees, and most government employees, which are included in BEA's estimates of wage and salary disbursements.

The BLS county wage data are derived from the Covered Employment and Wages, or ES-202, program; the data are tabulations of monthly employment and quarterly total wages of workers who are covered by State unemployment insurance (UI) and of Federal workers who are covered by the unemployment compensation for Federal employees (UCFE) program. The BLS data include civilian government and some agricultural production employees and household employees.

The BLS data account for 95 percent of the wage and salary component of BEA's estimates of personal income. The remainder consists of adjustments that BEA makes to account for employment and wages not covered, or not fully covered, by the State UI and UCFE programs.

Per capita personal income (PCPI) is the annual total personal income of residents divided by resident population as of July 1. The Census Bureau released April 1, 2000 decennial population counts for counties in early 2001, but will not release revised county intercensal population estimates for 1991– 99 that are consistent with the April 1, 2000 counts until early 2002. In 2002, PCPI estimates for 1991–99 will be revised to incorporate the updated intercensal population estimates.

The metropolitan area definitions used by BEA for its personal income estimates are the county-based definitions issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for federal statistical purposes. OMB's general concept of a metropolitan area is that of a geographic area consisting of a large population nucleus together with adjacent communities having a high degree of economic and social integration with the nucleus. OMB recognizes two sets of metropolitan areas in the New England region. The first set is defined in terms of cities and towns; the second set, which is used for the estimates presented here, consists of the 12 New England county metropolitan statistical areas (NECMA's). Outside of the New England region, the metropolitan areas consist of 58 primary metropolitan statistical areas (PMSA's) and 248 metropolitan statistical areas (MSA's). The PMSA's and one NECMA are grouped into 17 consolidated metropolitan statistical areas (CMSA's). The 318 metropolitan areas discussed in the text of this release consist of the MSA's, PMSA's, and NECMA's. The estimates for all of the areas, including the 17 CMSA's, are shown in Table 1 (PDF or text).


BEA's major national, regional, international, and industry estimates; the Survey of Current Business; and BEA news releases are available on BEA's Web site: http://www.bea.gov.

The definitions of the metropolitan areas are available on the Web site in "Other Products" under the "Regional" heading.

  1. Per capita personal income was computed using Census Bureau midyear population estimates. Estimates for 1997–99 reflect county population estimates available as of March 2000.
  2. Percent change calculated from unrounded data.
  3. The personal income level shown for the United States is derived as the sum of the county estimates. It differs from the estimate of personal income in the national income and product accounts (NIPA's) because of differences in coverage, in the methodologies used to prepare the estimates, and in the timing of the availability of source data. In particular, it differs from the NIPA estimate because, by definition, it omits the earnings of Federal civilian and military personnel stationed abroad and of U.S. residents employed abroad temporarily by private U.S. firms.
  4. Includes Metropolitan Statistical Areas, Primary Metropolitan Statistical Areas (PMSA's designated by *), and New England County Metropolitan Areas (NECMA's). The New Haven-Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury-Waterbury, CT NECMA is presented as a PMSA (part of the New York CMSA).
