US State Per-Capita Personal Income, 1929-2009

Per-capita personal income for the 48 contiguous US states in nominal dollars. Mirrors the canonical usjoin panel used in PySAL giddy and the spatial Markov literature, so examples and validation in this package are directly comparable to that reference work.

Usage

usjoin

Format

A tibble with 3,888 rows (48 states x 81 years) and 4 columns:

name: State name.
state_fips: State FIPS code, integer.
year: Year, integer 1929 to 2009.
income: Nominal per-capita personal income, integer USD.
