Economic Analysis

The United States is one of the wealthiest nations in the world, but each area in the United States is uniquely different. There are large gaps in income, house prices and educational attainment from state to state.

Income

Incomes in the United States are generally higher in the northeast. There are many major cities in the northeast including New York City, Boston and Philadelphia. In addition, there are large pockets of wealth outside of Washington DC, stretching into areas of Virginia and Maryland.

States with higher household incomes share common traits, including having a more educated population and having a major city located either within its borders or located close by.

Also vital to a state economy is having either a natural resource, a strong agricultural industry or a strong tourism industry.

Housing

House prices vary significantly from state to state. There are many factors that appear to contribute to house prices including population density and climate. In addition, house prices are generally higher near major cities and surrounding coastal areas.

Nationally, the west coast and the northeast generally have a higher cost of housing, while housing costs are more affordable in the Midwest and southern states.
