BEA Quarterly State Personal Income
Every state's personal income quarter by quarter since 1948, with its components: pay from work, business and farm profits, investment income and government payments, and income per person. Use it for the most current reading of how a state's residents are faring, to watch income through a recession or a surge of government payments, or to compare states' income growth over the latest quarters.

Per capita personal income is total personal income divided by total quarterly population estimates.
