Where do you guess the UK would rank as a US state in terms of gdp per capita?

The combined GDP of the United Kingdom countries, meaning England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland together, would rank around the 5th largest U.S. state economy if the UK were treated as a single state.

That puts it roughly around or slightly below California and ahead of Texas depending on the exact year and exchange rates used.

Approximate comparisons:

California: about $4.1T GDP
United Kingdom: about $3.7T to $3.9T GDP
Texas: about $2.7T GDP
New York: about $2.3T GDP

So the “correct” ranking is basically:

California
UK
Texas
New York

A lot of people underestimate how large the UK economy still is globally.

This is per capita not total GDP

The combined United Kingdom would rank roughly around the middle-to-upper tier of U.S. states on GDP per capita.

Approximate comparison:

UK GDP per capita: around $52k-$55k
U.S. state equivalents:
Around Illinois
Similar to Minnesota
Below wealthy states like Massachusetts, New York, California, Washington

So in state rankings, the UK would probably land somewhere around 15th-25th depending on the exact year and source.

A lot of Americans assume the UK would rank near the top because London is so globally important, but outside southeast England the UK economy per person is much more average by U.S. state standards.

First try!!

Go buy a lotto ticket

Mississippi would be 50th and average a yearly higher income of 17%

In this data set I pulled this from which is quite recent when asked Brits most common guess was 7th

They’re a clown country at the moment
