Indiana County vs. Pennsylvania | Total Personal Income Trends over 1969-2022

Introduction

Indiana County:

2022 TPI = $3,782,731K

2022 Percent of State = 0.45%

Pennsylvania:

2022 TPI = $836,778,334K

2022 Percent of U.S. = 3.83%

The annual total personal incomes (TPI) estimates compiled by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, (BEA) are among the most comprehensive, consistent, comparable and timely measures of economic activity available statewide and at the national levels. Personal income estimates are also the best available local level indicator of general purchasing power, and are therefore central to tracking and comparing county patterns of economic growth and change.

The following graphs highlight trends in the pattern of growth and change in the total personal income of Indiana County and Pennsylvania with comparison to the nation. The data used are those compiled by the Regional Income and Product Divisions of the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce. The 2017 constant dollar (real) estimates of total personal income reported in the tables and portrayed graphically below are determined using the Implicit Price Deflator for Personal Consumption.

Data Definition:

Personal income is the income received by persons from participation in production, plus transfer receipts from government and business, plus government interest (which is treated like a transfer receipt). It is defined as the sum of wages and salaries, supplements to wages and salaries, proprietors' income with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments, rental income of persons with capital consumption adjustment, personal dividend income, personal interest income, and personal current transfer receipts, less contributions for government social insurance. Because the personal income of an area represents the income that is received by, or on behalf of, all the persons who live in that area, and because the estimates of some components of personal income (wages and salaries, supplements to wages and salaries, and contributions for government social insurance) are made on a place-of-work basis, state personal income includes an adjustment for residence. The residence adjustment represents the net flow of compensation (less contributions for government social insurance) of interstate commuters.

Current vs. Constant Dollars (Millions)

Figure 1.

Figure 1 depicts Indiana County's annual total personal income over 1970-2022 in current and constant (2017) dollars. Constant dollar measurements remove the effects of inflation. They allow for comparison of changes in the real purchasing power of Indiana County over time.

When measured in current dollars, Indiana County's total personal income increased 1,422.35%, from $248M in 1970 to $3,783M in 2022. When measured in constant 2017 dollars to adjust for inflation, it advanced 159.31%, from $1,257M in 1970 to $3,260M in 2022.

Real Total Personal Income, 1969-2022 (Millions)

Figure 2.

Figure 2 tracks Indiana County's and Pennsylvania's annual real total personal income for the period 1969-2022 to illustrate real total personal income patterns over time. During this 54-year period, Indiana County's real total personal income rose from $1,175M in 1969 to $3,260M in 2022, for a net gain of $2,085M, or 177.43%. In comparison, Pennsylvania's real total personal income increased from $240,142M in 1969 to $721,093M in 2022, for a net gain of $480,951M, or 200.28%.

Real Total Personal Income Indices (1969=100): 1969-2022

Figure 3.

Figure 3 portrays Indiana County's real total personal income growth in a broader context by offering direct comparisons across time with Pennsylvania, the United States. The growth indices shown here express each region's real total personal income in 1969 as a base figure of 100, and the real total personal incomes in later years as a percentage of the 1969 base figure. This method allows for more direct comparison of differences in real total personal income growth between regions that may differ vastly in size.

Indiana County's overall real total personal income growth was 177.43% over 1969-2022 trailed Pennsylvania's increase of 200.28%, and fell below the United States' increase of 348.76%.

Total Personal Income as a Percent of the Pennsylvania Total: 1969-2022

Figure 4.

Another interesting and insightful way of contrasting the total personal income growth of Indiana County is to compare its individual percentage contributions to Pennsylvania's statewide total personal income over time, as shown in Figure 4. A rising share means a region's total personal income grew faster, or declined less, than Pennsylvania's total personal income, while a declining share shows it grew more slowly.

In 1969, Indiana County's total personal income totaled 0.49% of Pennsylvania's total personal income, while in 2022 it equated to 0.45% thereby yielding a -0.04% share-shift.

Annual Percent Change, 1970-2022

Figure 5.

Figure 5 displays the short-run pattern of Indiana County's real total personal income growth by tracking the year-to-year percent change over 1970-2022. The average annual percent change for the entire 53-year period is also illustrated on this chart to provide a benchmark for gauging periods of relative high--and relative low--growth against the backdrop of the long-term average.

On average, Indiana County's real total personal income grew at an annual rate of 1.99% over 1970-2022. The county recorded its highest growth in 1972 (8.35%) and posted its lowest growth in 2022 (-8.76%). In 2022, Indiana County's real total personal income declined by -8.76%

Annual Percent Change and Decade Averages Over 1970-2022

Figure 6.

Over the past five decades some counties have experienced extreme swings in growth, and often such swings have tended to coincide with the decades themselves. Figure 6 again depicts the annual percent change in Indiana County's real total personal income since 1970, but this time they are displayed with average growth rates for the decade of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020-2022.

During the 1970s, Indiana County's annual real total personal income growth rate averaged 5.41%. It averaged 1.43% in the 1980s, 1.82% in the 1990s, 1.23% during the 2000s, 0.71% throughout the 2010s, -0.26% thus far this decade (2020-2022).

Average Annual Percent Change by Decade

Figure 7.

Figure 7 compares the decade average growth rates for Indiana County noted in the previous graph with the corresponding decade averages for Pennsylvania and the nation. As the chart reveals, Indiana County's average annual real total personal income growth outgained Pennsylvania's average during the 1970s (5.41% vs. 2.58%), trailed Pennsylvania's average during the 1980s (1.43% vs. 2.20%), lagged Pennsylvania's average throughout the 1990s (1.82% vs. 2.35%), amounted to less than Pennsylvania's average in the 2000s (1.23% vs. 1.77%), posted below Pennsylvania's average in the 2010s (0.71% vs. 2.04%), and recorded under Pennsylvania's average over the 3 year period of the current decade, 2020-2022 (-0.26% vs. 0.91%).

Finally, relative to nationwide real total personal income growth trends, Indiana County led the nation throughout the 1970s (5.41% vs. 3.50%), lagged the nation over the 1980s (1.43% vs. 3.16%), fell below the nation during the 1990s (1.82% vs. 3.27%), lagged the nation throughout the 2000s (1.23% vs. 2.06%), fell below the nation throughout the 2010s (0.71% vs. 2.72%), and recorded underneath the nation over 2020-2022 (-0.26% vs. 2.10%).
