About this ranking

Personal consumption expenditures of the residents of a state divided by its population, in current US dollars: goods and services bought by households and by nonprofits serving them, including health care paid by insurers and government programs and the rental value of owner-occupied homes. United States: Bureau of Economic Analysis, table SAPCE2 line 1, nation and states.

Measured where residents live, wherever they spend. Not adjusted for price differences between states; regional_price_parity shows those. The state total is consumer_spending_usd_total.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the states are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
