Why this matters

A bigger total can hide weak growth per person. We should ask if new homes, firms and skills help each person get ahead.

What we want to change

Let goods and skills move freely. Make room for homes and firms. Judge plans by their gains for people, not just total size.

Is each place making more per person? — GDP is the value of what a place makes. This chart takes out price changes, then splits that total by the number of people.

What this does not show: GDP is not pay, wealth or a measure of a good life. These dollars do not adjust for living costs across places. July 1 is one point in the year. This method differs from our quarterly national chart. Do not add the chained-dollar totals.
