Reasons for differences in income inequality among the states
In the framework of American federalism, states generally have wide latitude to enact policies within their borders, including state taxation and labor laws. Among the factors that may increase inequality in a state are regressive state tax policies[2] (taxation has played a growing role in diminishing inequality since the 1980s),[3]tax incentives for large companies,[4]corruption,[5] reduced labor-union membership,[6]right-to-work laws,[7] lower minimum wages,[8] poorer healthcare,[9] and increased welfare spending on the poor.[7] Additionally, since the 1970s, income disparities have disproportionately increased in metropolitan areas, because of the concentration of high-skilled jobs there.[10][11] For example, even though New York is the state with the highest inequality, Upstate New York has much less income inequality than Downstate New York, because the economy of New York City (Gini index 0.5469)[12] relies greatly on high-salary earners.[11] States with better financial development tend to be more unequal than those with worse financial opportunities; but the trends go in the opposite directions for high-income and low-income states, the former having more equality up to a certain level of development, beyond which the inequality rises non-linearly.[13] The influx of foreign direct investment lessens the disparity at the federal level, but it does not necessarily do so for individual states.[14]
Gini coefficient
Map of Gini coefficients by US state, 2019
The Gini coefficient is a measure of inequality of incomes (or sometimes wealth) across individuals. A score of "0" on the Gini coefficient represents complete equality, i.e. every person has the same income. A score of 1 would represent the case in which one person would have all the income and others would have none. Therefore, a lower Gini score is roughly associated with a more equal distribution of income and vice versa. In 2018 U.S. income inequality as measured by the Gini index was close to the highest recorded values ever.[15][16]
The uncertainties are not shown in the table. The ACS gives a much higher estimate of the Gini coefficient for the United States than other sources.[15][16][19]
States and territories are sorted by the share of the lowest quintile in aggregate household income, i.e. the share of household income of 20% of the poorest households in the total household income. Due to different methodologies by which the United States Census Bureau and the EPI have calculated their results, the data should not be compared.
By households
Data for quintiles and top 5% come from the American Community Survey estimates in 2019.[21]
The data presented in the table comes from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), a think tank, relying on data from 2015 tax returns.[22][23] The table is sorted according to mean income of families (leftmost column).
