Q4 2021: Total Annual Earnings in a 50-mile radius of select US-Cities

dimondpark · #1 Posted **Aug 29, 2022, 3:20 AM**

This is by city proper.

I found the number of jobs in the 50-mile radius around each of these cities and multiplied that by the annualized earnings per job in that 50-mile radius.

For geeks like me.

New York $964.9 billion
San Francisco $594.1 billion

At 25 miles, San Jose would get counted separately no?

Yes, SJ at 25-miles is $236.5 billion

austlar1 · #8 Posted **Aug 29, 2022, 6:36 PM**

Would you mind calculating Fort Worth at 25 miles and 50 miles?

sure!

Fort Worth, TX
25-miles $69.0 billion
50-miles $287.2 billion

Fort Worth is silightly higher than Dallas at the 50-mile mark.

jmecklenborg · #10 Posted **Aug 29, 2022, 9:28 PM**

Look at how much larger Cincinnati is than Nashville, which are now MSAs of a similar size. The adjacent Dayton MSA probably accounts for most of Cincinnati's advantage.

JMKeynes · #11 Posted **Aug 29, 2022, 10:03 PM**

New York is in a league of its own.

Ha! That's because at 50 miles out, your sweep captures most of the juicy parts of both Big D and the DFW metro. It just misses the Plano/Frisco corridor, but it gets most everything else.

SlidellWx · #13 Posted **Aug 30, 2022, 4:18 AM**

New Orleans and Baton Rouge are missing.

New Orleans = $41.7 billion (equivalent to Virginia Beach)
Baton Rouge = $28.7 billion (places it between Rochester and Honolulu)

For shits and giggles...75 mile radius of New Orleans incorporates nearly all of both metro areas.

New Orleans/Baton Rouge = $69.4 billion (close to the same size as San Antonio)

For consistency's sake, though, if you're gonna combine New Orleans with Baton Rouge, then you'd rightly have to combine San Antonio with Austin. Both city pairs are around 75 miles away from each other, downtown-to-downtown as the crow flies.

Detroit and Cleveland would probably get a big boost too, since they are within a 100-mile radius of each other.

Steely Dan · #16 Posted **Aug 30, 2022, 3:53 PM**

the 100 mile radius mark is pretty meaningless in the real world, at least for discussing "cities" IMO.

a 100 mile radius is over 31,000 sq. miles, roughly the area of mid-sized US states like Maine or Indiana.

a 100 mile radius around Columbus takes up like 80% of the state of ohio.

referencing such a VAST area back to an individual city doesn't make much sense to me.

Well, I'm actually more impressed by NYs finance industry employing 436k people with an average earnings of $323k.
