Real Per Capita Personal Income by State & Metro: 2008-2012
Implications of Changing RPPI (scroll section)
Some caution is important in interpreting change in real per capita personal income (RPPI).
Personal income is the income received by all persons from all sources. Personal income is the sum of net earnings by place of residence, property income, and personal current transfer receipts.
Real, price-adjusted, estimates of per capita personal income (RPPI) is one of the best measures of overall economic prosperity.
But it is only one measure and omits other aspects of quality of life and related measures.
If the population of the area is falling, the RPPI will be increasing even though there is no increase in total real personal income. Similarly, high population growth areas may reflect a subdued RPPI growth. Government transfer payments, such as unemployment benefits and government assistance, can be increase or decrease personal income and mask the real performance of the area economy. Some areas were already experiencing depressed conditions in 2008, while others had been accelerating rapidly. There relative differences may not be fully reflected by the RPPI alone.
