Westerners Lead Nation In Per Capita Income In 1980
Western states posted the highest per capita income at 10 265 dollars in 1980 while the South remained the poorest at 8 604 dollars. The Census Bureau notes the regional gap narrowed since 1970 due to industrial mix and broader aid, with Alaska topping states at 12 790 dollars and a long list of state figures.
