Per Capita Income (real)
Hawaiʻi current rank: #46 of 50 states (2024)
Compares Hawaiʻi’s rank history on this metric with California.
Hawaiʻi ranked #34 in real income in 2008 and has fallen to #46 in 2024. The steepest drop came during COVID (#49 in 2020) when tourism collapsed. The main reason is sector concentration: roughly 20 percent tourism-dependent, the highest share of any state.
