Per Capita GDP by state for 2006.

This article presents a list of U.S. states sorted by their gross state product (GSP) per capita. GSP is the state counterpart of the national gross domestic product (GDP), the most comprehensive measure of national economic activity. The United States Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) derives GSP for a state as the sum of the GSP originating in all the industries in the state.

The BEA defines an industry's GSP, or its value added, as equal to its gross output (sales or receipts and other operating income, commodity taxes, and inventory change) minus its intermediate inputs (consumption of goods and services purchased from other U.S. industries or imported). The BEA's GSP data by industry and state is consistent with gross domestic product (GDP) in the national income and product accounts, and with the GDP by industry accounts.

The list presents 2004 and 2008 statistics. The figures are in nominal dollars, unadjusted for inflation or purchasing power disparities among the states.
