US states — wealth and income
State-level Comprehensive Wealth from the US subnational two-version architecture.
Strawman. Phase 1 ships a static choropleth (PNG export from the state-level workbook); Phase 2 makes it interactive.
US states
The same balance-sheet identity, applied to 51 US states. Per the State of FAND briefing §3, the United States has two coexisting versions of its balance sheet — and that gap is an empirical finding:
| ISO3=USA (TL1) | FIPS=00000 (bottom-up) | |
|---|---|---|
| Sources | IMF, WB, OECD, FAO | BEA, BLS, Census, EIA, USGS, SSA |
| CW income base | Atlas GNI | GTP (HQ-bias corrected) |
| 1.2.2 Intergenerational | Structurally empty | Populated (Unfunded SS, Financial Overhang) |
| CW gap vs TL1 | reference | +5.9% (net-debtor ownership position) |
| NC gap vs TL1 | reference | −24.8% (county allocation < national) |
The gap between the two versions measures the empirical content of local institutional knowledge — what you can see from inside the US system that you cannot see from the internationally comparable view.
What’s here at launch
- State-level choropleth: CW per capita by state
- Per-state pages with full balance sheets
- The cross-border story shifts at this scale to interstate flows — where people live vs where they work across state lines. 13–399× larger than international flows for commuter-belt states.
