Population figures use Q4 2024 estimates for Canada and July 1, 2024 estimates for the U.S. GDP per capita measures economic output per person and does not represent average income.<\/p>\n
How the U.S. and Canada Compare<\/p>\n
U.S. jurisdictions dominate the upper end of the ranking. New York, Massachusetts, Washington, Delaware, California, and North Dakota all record GDP per capita above $100,000.<\/p>\n

The District of Columbia is a notable outlier at $266,592 per person, more than twice the level of second-place New York<\/a> at $116,099.<\/p>\n D.C.\u2019s unusually high figure reflects its small resident population alongside a dense concentration of government, professional services, consulting, and other high-value economic activity.<\/p>\n Massachusetts and Washington state follow at roughly $109,000 and $108,000 per person, respectively, while Delaware, California, and North Dakota also exceed $100,000.<\/p>\n Why Canada\u2019s Territories Rank So High<\/p>\n Nunavut is the highest-ranking Canadian jurisdiction at $99,740 per person, placing eighth overall, while the Northwest Territories ranks at $82,161.<\/p>\n These figures are exceptions within Canada and reflect how GDP per capita can behave in small, resource-heavy economies. Large mining<\/a>, energy, and infrastructure projects can generate substantial output across relatively small populations, lifting the per-person figure.<\/p>\n That does not mean residents of the territories are necessarily wealthier than Canadians elsewhere.<\/p>\n Canadian Provinces Trail Most U.S. States<\/p>\n Alberta is Canada\u2019s highest-ranking province, with GDP per capita of $69,797, placing 43rd in the combined ranking. Its relatively strong position reflects the province\u2019s large energy sector and other resource-intensive industries. Saskatchewan follows at $65,535, while Newfoundland and Labrador reaches $56,202.<\/p>\n Canada\u2019s three most populous provinces rank further down the list. British Columbia records GDP per capita of $54,986, Ontario stands at $53,849, and Quebec comes in at $49,817. Mississippi, at $53,621, is the only U.S. state positioned among this group of major Canadian provinces.<\/p>\n Several Atlantic Canadian provinces sit at the bottom of the combined ranking. Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia each generate roughly $44,000 per person, while New Brunswick ranks last at $40,820.<\/p>\n Overall, the gap with the U.S. has widened over time<\/a>. Canada\u2019s GDP per capita tracked more closely with the U.S. through the early 2010s, but slower productivity growth<\/a> since then has increased the difference between the two countries.<\/p>\n Learn More on the Voronoi App ![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/voronoi-icon-transparent.png\"){kind=spacer}
