> Household Disposable Income per capita (including social transfers in kind)
1 United States 62,300
19 New Zealand 32,600 (2019)
Roughly 50%. I can't find similar data for the bad pockets of America.
- woodruffw 4y agoThe closest available metric is probably the BEA's PCPI[1], which is $42,315 for WV. So about 30% more, but I think a more fair metric would probably adjust for differences in social entitlements and welfare. (Per capita for both also doesn't tell us much about distributions, or even sheer numbers: the two states that have lower HDIs than the least developed region of NZ have nearly as many people as all of NZ.)
