Caveats

  • Values are current dollars, not adjusted for inflation.
  • A cell coded (NA) (not available) is omitted, never recorded as zero; Alaska and Hawaii carry (NA) before 1950 (pre-statehood).
  • BEA's own multi-state region aggregates are excluded from this site; the District of Columbia is included as a state-type geography.
  • Per capita personal income divides by BEA's own population estimate, not this site's Census Bureau population estimate; see disagreements.

Regional Price Parities (SARPP)

Caveats

  • Only the all-items regional price parity is normalized to 100 for the nation; the goods and services sub-lines are not separately renormalized.
  • The Services: Housing line is a rent-based cost index (contract and imputed rents), not a home-price measure.
  • Real per capita personal income differs from the per capita personal income shown elsewhere on this site, which is nominal, current-dollar and not price-parity-adjusted.
  • A cell coded (NA) (not available) or (NM) (not meaningful) is omitted, never recorded as zero; the District of Columbia is included as a state-type geography.
  • Metro-area regional price parity is also included, for the seven metropolitan areas that include an Idaho county, matched against the Census Bureau's July 2023 metro-area delineation (OMB Bulletin No. 23-01). Lewiston, ID-WA and Logan, UT-ID cross the state line and are carried whole, as the publisher delineates them. The regional price parity for Twin Falls, ID is not available before 2015.
  • Real per capita personal income has no metro-area counterpart in BEA's regional accounts; it is Idaho- and nation-level only.
  • County-level price parities are not published at all.
