NOTES:

  • The Series buttons at the top of the page control table selections. Click on different series buttons to get different table options.
  • To view county-level information first display a State. Use the CTRL and/or Shift keys to select multiple years. Press Display to display your selection in HTML tables, and Download to download a comma-separated-value text file. After displaying a table, you have the option to show one estimate for all counties and MSAs in that State by clicking on the line code next to the estimate. If you select Download it is recommended that you specify an output file name with a CSV extension. If you select Download you need to do the following after the information is displayed:
    1. Select your browser's "Save As" menu item
    2. Select a file type of "Text file"
    3. Name your file with a CSV, PRN, or TXT extension.
  • The greater the number of years selected, the slower the request will be. A submission that requests too much information has the possibility of timing out. If you are displaying information, you will want to consider how large your table will be; a table with a lot of years (columns) may be difficult to read because of its large width.
  • The local area estimates in the above tables also appear on the Regional Economic Information System (REIS) CD–ROM, which, although not yet available to order, is available as a large download.

New estimates of 2002 county personal income and revised estimates for 1969-2001 were released May 25, 2004. These estimates incorporate the results of the comprehensive revision to the national income and product accounts (NIPAs) released December 10, 2003, and to state personal income released April 27,2004.
