Regional Economic Information System - economic characteristics and patterns for the U.S. & each county & state
April 2025 — Here’s something that might surprise most Americans. Teton County, Wyoming, had the highest per capita personal income (PCPI) in 2022 at $406,054, marking a 56% increase since 2019, a trend explored in the county’s economic profile. How do we know this? In mid-November, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) updated its personal income estimates for 2022, and ProximityOne has applied this data to its Regional Economic Information System (REIS) to explore economic data not otherwise easily obtainable. Though the full updates are still underway, sample reports for selected counties are available, providing insights into economic trends and income patterns. Join our weekly web sessions every Tuesday at 3:00 pm ET to learn more about these data, their comparisons, and broader economic measures. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) has released the the 2022 annually updated personal income and related estimates by county (11/16/23). The ProximityOne Regional Economic Information System (REIS) has also been updated reflecting these BEA updates. This section has not yet been fully updated but here are sample reports for selected counties. Clicking a link opens the Economic Profile page for that county. From that page, navigate to related personal income pages for that county. Using REIS, these reports are also available in Excel format and for user selected years starting in 1969. Examine the profiles to learn more about economic makeup and trends in selected counties.

REIS has been developed, maintained and supported by ProximityOne/Warren Glimpse. The intended uses of REIS are to better understand regional demographic-economic conditions and and how changes in those conditions might impact their business/organization. Users include individuals, businesses, government agencies, colleges and universities, associations and other organizations. Collaborate with other users on topics ranging from operations, modeling, subject matter, policy topics, forecasting, impact analysis and related applications. The REIS database is primarily comprised of selected Federal statistical data and is updated frequently. REIS uniquely brings those disparate data together to facilitate modeling. REIS may be installed by authorized users at no fee. Request UserID. Run installer here. See terms of use.

Personal income is the income received by all persons from all sources .. the sum of net earnings by place of residence, property income, and personal current transfer receipts. Per Capita Personal Income (PCPI) is a comprehensive measure of personal economic well-being in an area. County level PCPI is the most geographically granular measure available. PCPI provides a more wholistic measure of income Estimated annually at the county level starting in the 1970s by BEA, BEA introduced county level estimates of GDP in the 2010s. This section is focused on personal income by major sources and related data. The Regional Economic Information System (REIS), originally focused on personal income by major sources, now more broadly includes GDP by sector. The regional economy is defined as one or more contiguous counties. Updated/extended annually by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), PCPI is derived from an extended set of related data. Use the interactive table below to examine U.S., state and county patterns of PCPI and related measures in context of the economic profile. The local area personal income data are updated/extended annually and released in November. The time series runs from 1969 through 2021 and updates with 2022 BEA-sourced estimates in November 2023. ProximityOne uses these data to develop current estimates (e.g., 2022) and projections to 2030.

Measuring the Regional Economy and Change One important part of measuring the regional economy and change is access to personal Income and related components of change measures. Personal income is the income available to persons for consumption expenditures, taxes, interest payments, transfer payments to governments and the rest of the world, or for saving. Personal income is a broader measure of personal economic well-being than provided by the American Community Survey (ACS) money income. Personal income measures are developed using largely administrative data rather than ACS money income measures based on a statistical survey. Start with the CA4 Personal Income by Major Sources profile to examine the components of personal income and how it is computed.

REIS estimates are developed by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis based on
data from the Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics and other sources.
This section describes the legacy REIS, focused on personal income.
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. Net earnings is earnings by place of work (the sum of wages and salaries, supplements to wages and salaries, and proprietors income) less contributions for government social insurance, plus an adjustment to convert earnings by place of work to a place-of-residence basis. Property income is rental income of persons, personal dividend income, and personal interest income. Personal income is measured before the deduction of personal income taxes and other personal taxes and is reported in current dollars (no adjustment is made for price changes). Per capita personal income is calculated as the personal income of the residents of a given area divided by the Census Bureau estimate of the resident population of the area. Place of Residence and Place of Work. Personal income, by definition, is a measure of the income received by persons, and the estimates of state and county personal income should reflect the residence of the income recipients. However, some of the data that are used to estimate some components of personal income are reported by the recipient's place of work rather than by his place of residence. Therefore, these components are estimated on a place-of-work basis, the amounts aggregated, and the aggregate (called the income subject to adjustment) adjusted to a place-of-residence basis. Thus the combination of the components of personal income plus the residence adjustment yields personal income on a place-of-residence basis. The estimates of wages and salaries, supplements to wages and salaries, and contributions for government social insurance (by employers and employees) are mainly derived from data that are reported by place of work. These data are reported by industry in the state and county in which the employing establishment is located. The estimates of nonfarm proprietors' income and contributions for government social insurance (by the self-employed) are derived from source data that are reported by the tax-filing address of the recipient. This address is usually that of the proprietor's residence; therefore, these data are assumed to be reported by place of residence. The estimates of farm proprietors' income are derived from data that are reported by the principal place of production, which is usually the county in which the farm has most of its land and in which most of the work is performed. Because most farm proprietors live on, or near, their land, the place of residence is assumed to be the same as the place of work. The estimates of rental income of persons, personal dividend income, personal interest income, personal current transfer receipts, and contributions for supplementary medical insurance and for veterans' life insurance are derived from data that are reported by the place of residence of the income recipient.
