  1. This must be old. I was told Antifa and BLM burned these democratic socialist cities to the ground. How could they be producing so much?

  2. Those West Texas towns are punching above their weight. Just oil, or is that ranching too?

    Anyone know what’s with the cluster of high gdppc in the northern part of West Virginia / southwest Pennsylvania? (South of Pittsburgh)

  4. Detroit still hanging in there at 16. Surprising.
    Still automotive or something else now?

    People used to move out of OC to riverside to find cheaper housing. Now even riverside is becoming extremely expensive. Sigh I guess I’m just live in my car for retirement

  6. I’m curious as to what’s in Riverside, CA. Somehow it has a higher GDP than Las Vegas.

    The wealth of the US is astonishing. The New York metro alone has a larger GDP than Russia, Mexico, or Australia.

    If it were its own country, it would be the 11th largest country in the world by GDP.

    I love how Oregon isn’t Portland, it’s Linn county, the grass capitol of the world. They grow strains of wheat, rye, and sorghum that sustain the world’s populations.

    Really interesting map! My only criticism is that some of the labels cover up regionally interesting data (mainly in the east where counties are smaller and more numerous). Moving them or increasing opacity would fix this issue

    Isnt california’s GDP bigger than India or something? Crazy when you think about it

  11. Since we’re mentioning city economies, New York, Tokyo, and Los Angeles are the only metro areas with trillion-dollar economies.

  12. Damn, San Francisco really punching above its weight. GDP/capita would be ~~comparable~~ **higher** than city states like Singapore, Luxembourg or Qatar.

  13. that blue and green dot is Midland and Odessa. yeah that’s oil – or what’s left of it. But that’s not the say that Midland and Odessa are completely swimming in money. Those dots probably make up a very small portion of the population.

    I’d love to see this over time, too. Have the top 5 seen GDP growth or decline since 2020?

  15. Always interesting to see how much minneapolis punches above its weight imho. I think of the Denver metro being so much higher producing then the twin cities.

  16. I’m not American, and thought that San Francisco and San José metro areas were part of a bigger one called Bay Area (or something similar)

  17. How San Francisco and San Jose can be considered separate metros is ridiculous to me, especially in economic context.

    edit: well ok, to be fair, Riverside and LA are separated as well. Still absurd.

  18. NYC = $2.1 Trillion. That’s absolutely INSANE and more than 99% of most countries worldwide.
