Florida incomes take biggest hit in nation, and they’re nearer to Mississippi’s than Maryland’s
by Jeff Ostrowski
Florida incomes lagged the national average in 2008 and fell well below those of other large states, the Census Bureau says.
A sampling of median family income from the Census’ American Communities Survey:
* 1. Maryland: $70,545
* 9. California: $61,021
* 17. Illinois: $56,235
* 18. New York: $56,033
* United States: $52,029
* 25. Pennsylvania: $50,713
* 28. Texas: $50,043
* 34. Florida: $47,778
* 51. Mississippi: $37,790
In more grim news, Florida had the biggest decline in income of any state:
State 2007 income Inflation-adjusted 2007 income 2008 income Change
Florida $47,804 $49,641 $47,778 -3.9%
Indiana $47,448 $49,271 $47,966 -2.7%
Michigan $47,950 $49,792 $48,591 -2.5%
California $59,948 $62,251 $61,021 -2.0%
Arizona $49,889 $51,806 $50,958 -1.7%
