New York compared with the United States

Annual real GDP growth was 0.13 percentage points above the U.S. annual growth rate in 2025. Personal income per resident was $14,476 above the U.S. value of $77,028 in the same year. These comparisons use national observations from the same regional producer files.

The August unemployment rate was 0.2 percentage points above the national 4.1% reading. That numerical difference is not a statistical-significance claim. The 2024 price parity was 7.9% above the national benchmark. Household circumstances and local housing markets can differ from these state averages.
