Per capita personal income is estimated by dividing estimated total personal income of residents by estimated resident population as of July 1 of a particular year. Personal income is the income received by all persons from all sources. Personal income is the sum of earnings (private and government wage and salary disbursements, other labor income, and form and nonfarm proprietors' income), rental income of persons, personal dividend income, personal interest income, and transfer payments less personal contributions for social insurance.
