This article is about the gross domestic product (GDP) of each U.S. state and territory. GDP is a way to measure how much money a state or country makes. It shows the total value of all the goods and services produced there. Think of it as the total income for a whole state.

The information here comes from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) for the year 2023. The BEA says that a state's GDP is the total "value added" from all the different industries in that state. This means adding up the value created by everything from farming to making cars to selling software.

When we talk about "nominal GDP," it means the GDP is measured using current prices. This number doesn't consider how much things cost in different places. For example, living in New York City is much more expensive than living in a small town. Also, nominal GDP can change a lot from year to year because of changes in money exchange rates. These changes might not mean people's lives are getting better or worse.

In 2023, the total nominal GDP for the entire United States was about $27.36 trillion. This was more than the $25.74 trillion in 2022.

The states with the highest GDPs in 2023 were California ($3.8 trillion), Texas ($2.56 trillion), and New York ($2.15 trillion). The states with the lowest GDPs were Vermont ($43.1 billion), Wyoming ($50.1 billion), and Alaska ($67.1 billion).

GDP per capita is the GDP divided by the number of people. It shows how much GDP is produced per person. In 2022, New York ($105,226), Massachusetts ($99,274), and North Dakota ($96,461) had the highest GDP per person. The lowest were Mississippi ($47,572), Arkansas ($54,644), and West Virginia ($54,870). The District of Columbia had a much higher GDP per person at $242,853.
