Washington Per Capita Personal Income

Per-capita personal income totals all wages, business income, dividends, interest, rents, and government transfer payments, divided by Washington’s population. It reflects both how productive the state is and how that production is distributed.

• Compare against the national per-capita figure (~$70K) — Washington typically runs $4–7K below.
• Income growth below CPI inflation means residents are losing buying power even if the headline number rises.
• Use as a benchmark for salary negotiations or pricing decisions for a Washington customer base.
