There are a number of ways to measure wealth, so it can be hard to rank the country’s states objectively. This article uses the data collated by the American Community Survey, which focused on each state’s median household income.
In a country where there are big wealth gaps between the richest and poorest states, as well as between counties this data shows us where the majority of the wealth is concentrated.
Some of these states have businesses on the 2024 Fortune 500 list, whilst others have made their wealth from trade, the insurance sector, or health care.
