Seattle whoo hooo! Beating about four bigger MSAs in Atlanta, Detroit, Miami, and Phoenix. (Based on vague recollection of MSAs)

[Crawford]

Seattle, San Jose and other tech-heavy metros are doing very well now.

Also, the much-touted manufacturing rebound in the Midwest seems to have abated somewhat.

Ouch... Tampa is such a ghetto city when you break down GDP per capita. Ranked 179th.

The only significant metros ranked even lower are San Antonio and Riverside CA.

[Eightball]

16. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA...$192,184...$100,115

Wow, way higher than any other area.

Also, wow @ the size of the NY and LA economies. Just a whole 'nother level. Houston CSA average income was higher than I was expecting. Does that largely include wealthier areas though?

Thanks for posting DimondPark and Slidell. Very interesting.

You know you're not doing too well if you're beat by Jackson, MS and Little Rock, AR.

Boatloads of retirees will always hold down per capita stats. They add to the population but don't produce much else. See Phoenix for the same issue.

Exactly Dave. Also metro areas with larger family sizes (I.e., more children), will have a lower averages as well.

It's an amazingly successful area, but also a high-income wing of a larger metro. Most metros have a high-income quarter that would have high numbers if split off separately. Attach it to the East Bay and the numbers would still be high but not stratospheric.

[Leo the Dog]

Durham/Chapel Hill caught my eye. Thanks to the RTP!

That is because the census separates the Bay Area into several "metropolitan areas", when it is really one. By census standards, the SAN FRANCISO 49ers play in a different metropolitan area! Seriously, I don't get it.

Regarding the 49ers, I wonder if they'll change their name in a few years. Their new stadium is 40 miles south of San Francisco.

Ie: "California 49ers".

[Eightball]

I thought they said if they win a championship they will still parade down Market St? I think the name stays. It is kind of absurd, especially since didn't Santa Clara subsidize the stadium a bunch?

Yes, of course. I realized that. Still remarkable

Since when did a sports team playing in a suburb mean that the sports team has to change the name? Tons of cities have their teams playing in a suburb, and keep the city's name, but that shouldn't apply to SF for some reason? I guess the only difference is that going by flawed census methodology that doesn't apply well to polycentric metro areas (such as the bay area), Sunnyvale isn't a suburb of SF, because it's supposedly in a different metro area. But in reality it obviously is the same metro, and is an SF suburb (and an SJ suburb as well of course)...the very fact that the 49ers are keeping the San Francisco name proves it, because if these areas were actually separate, residents in Sunnyvale/the south bay would be flipping their shit about their team being called the "San Francisco" 49ers. But they're not as far as I can tell, aside from a few grumpy city-booster type people on the internet.

That's not average income.. That's GDP. GDP and income aren't the same.

And it's Midland, TX MSA that has by far the highest GDP per capita in the United States.. Not sure why it's not listed above. From the source:

Midland, TX MSA $147,894

It also had one of the largest (top 5) change in GDP this year, and last, and the year before.

http://bea.gov/newsreleases/regional..._metro0914.pdf

But clearly Midland isn't the richest place when it comes to personal wealth. Same as Houston. Not a particularly wealthy but the booming industries (oil) pushes these GDP figures up.

[simms3_redux]

Well to clarify, it can't be the California 49ers or anything but San Francisco 49ers because 1849 doesn't mean jack shit for anybody BUT San Francisco. They'd have to change all aspects of their name.

Also, SJ is a 3rd wheel city to the Bay Area, not necessarily a "suburb". It shares a similar relationship to the overall area as Oakland, or as Fort Worth does to Dallas or Saint Paul to Minneapolis or Durham does to Raleigh or Oxnard or IE do to LA. It's a bit different in this regard than Baltimore's relationship to DC or Providence's relationship to Boston.

So on that note, SJ may be absurdly high for a "large" metro at 6 figures now, and no, it doesn't include the East Bay, which would lower it, however, SF's GDP includes the East Bay and it's still #3 for "large" metros >500,000 people at $78K per capita (higher than DC or Boston, 3rd behind Bridgeport-Stamford and its neighbor to the S). The E Bay has vast swaths of poverty, however, people fail to realize that it also has vast pockets of wealth and a large economy that is incredibly diverse (between the Castro Valley cities where Chevron is HQ's to the refineries up around Richmond/Martinez to Walnut Creek to Oakland itself and to Emeryville, where there are lots of companies producing many cool/innovative tech-related things, including Pixar of all "brands"). So I don't think the E Bay itself is as much a "penalty" as people are assuming.

The Bay Area is an absolute beast. The difference between it and the next guy up (Greater LA) is actually substantially less both in $ Amt and clearly by % than from Greater LA to Greater NYC.

Not meant to be a slight to SF. It's not unheard of for teams to change names. LA Angles became Anaheim Angels and now the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Or how about Golden State Warriors? They're not the Oakland Warriors.

Phoenix Cardinals became the Arizona Cardinals (they never played football in Phx city limits).

New England Patriots is an odd example. It's not a city or state, it's an entire region. Pretty unique.

[mhays]

Those are marketing distinctions designed to appeal the local people, and I think Anaheim involved a lease deal.

National/international audiences might align better with core city names. If you're San Francisco, with its huge profile, milk it.

Don't do the "Tampa Bay" route. I was pretty old before I knew that the city was called just "Tampa."
