Infographic: Every State’s Share of U.S. GDP

Key Takeaways

California remains the largest state economy, responsible for 14.5% of U.S. GDP.
California, Texas, New York, and Florida collectively generate over 37% of national GDP.
The median U.S. state contributes roughly 1% to 2% of U.S. GDP.

The U.S. economy now exceeds $30 trillion in size, but that output is far from evenly distributed across the country. While large and economically diverse states like California dominate contributions to national GDP, many smaller states contribute less than 0.5% each.

This infographic maps the share of U.S. GDP by state based on data from Mark Zandi and Moody’s Analytics.
