1. California: $2.11 trillion, 13% of overall GDP

2. Texas: $1.46 trillion, 9.5% of overall GDP

3. New York: $1.28 trillion, 8.4% of overall GDP

4. Florida: $769 billion, 4.8% of overall GDP.

5. Illinois: $680 billion, 4.3% of overall GDP.

One important factor for GDP appears to be the population for both the state and the metropolitan areas. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Houston are the five most densely populated metropolitan areas in that order. Further, California, Texas and New York have the highest populations by state in that order. There appears to be a relationship between GDP output and the population for a geographical area.

 

The largest metropolitan areas contributed the greatest amount of GDP for the country. According to our analysis, the top 20 metropolitan areas contributed over half of the United State’s GDP. The New York metropolitan area contributed nearly 10% to the GDP by itself. In terms of a breakdown by state, the top 5 states contributed around 40% of the entire country’s GDP. California alone contributed over 13% of the total GDP for the country.
