This online application gives manufacturers the ability to compare Iowa to other states on a number of different topics including: business climate, education, operating costs, quality of life and workforce.

Detailed cost of living comparison between United States and United States

The statistic above provides information about the income level in the United States at which money won't make you happier. In 2010, a household in Hawaii needs to make about 122 thousand U.S. dollars per year to reach the happiness plateau, in which more income doesn't provide better emotional well-being. The state-by-state comparison takes into account the disparity in cost of living between the states.

These tables compare 2008-2009 state-level estimates to 2017-2018 state-level estimates.

Taxes were relatively favorable in places like Wyoming and South Dakota in fiscal year 2021 - states that did not levy corporate or individual income tax. This according to a business tax climate score that tries not to determine how many taxes are collected or lists the state-by-state tax rates, but instead looks at the structure of taxes in each state in the United States. This is reflected in the four states of Wyoming, South Dakota, Alaska and Florida: These four states have the highest overall score, which comes about by a score of ** - the highest available - for individual income tax and/or corporate income tax. According to the source, the lack of either of these two taxes reflects that these states have a competitive advantage against other states that do have this.

Out of all 50 states, New York had the highest per-capita real gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024, at 92,341 U.S. dollars, followed closely by Massachusetts. Mississippi had the lowest per-capita real GDP, at 41,603 U.S. dollars. While not a state, the District of Columbia had a per capita GDP of more than 210,780 U.S. dollars. What is real GDP? A country’s real GDP is a measure that shows the value of the goods and services produced by an economy and is adjusted for inflation. The real GDP of a country helps economists to see the health of a country’s economy and its standard of living. Downturns in GDP growth can indicate financial difficulties, such as the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, when the U.S. GDP decreased by 2.5 percent. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on U.S. GDP, shrinking the economy 2.8 percent. The U.S. economy rebounded in 2021, however, growing by nearly six percent. Why real GDP per capita matters Real GDP per capita takes the GDP of a country, state, or metropolitan area and divides it by the number of people in that area. Some argue that per-capita GDP is more important than the GDP of a country, as it is a good indicator of whether or not the country’s population is getting wealthier, thus increasing the standard of living in that area. The best measure of standard of living when comparing across countries is thought to be GDP per capita at purchasing power parity (PPP) which uses the prices of specific goods to compare the absolute purchasing power of a countries currency.
