Personal income per capita in the United States grew on average $12,816 or 23.9 percent since 2019, which certainly sounds like a big jump.  However, in that same time period personal consumption per capita also rose significantly; on average between 2019 and 2023 (the most recent data available) personal consumption spending went up 25.9 percent.  These figures are not adjusted for inflation, but they show that spending increased more than personal income.  Go to Data-Z.org to compare these two figures for your state.

According to the BEA , "Personal Income Per Capita is calculated as the total personal income of the residents of a state divided by the population of the state. In computing per capita personal income, BEA uses midquarter population estimates based on unpublished Census Bureau data." In addition, they explain that "personal income is measured before the deduction of personal income taxes and other personal taxes and is reported in current dollars (no adjustment is made for price changes)."

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, total personal consumption expenditures is a “measure of spending on goods and services purchased by, and on behalf of, households based on households' state of residence.” The Personal Consumption Expenditures, Per Capita is the total personal consumption expenditures divided by the population of the state.
