2005 Survey Income
Table 1. State survey incomes. Incomes by state (reported on first line of each state, expanded on state total lines), state percent of region total, and expansion factors (below state names), by state and income category ($millions). State reported incomes were expanded by values in left column, unless noted otherwise in category columns (for instance, $131.580 for CT was multiplied by 1.5 and 2.2) and rounded. Expansion factors in left columns were determined from return data. Other factors if different determined through comparison with a random sampling of specific 2002 respondents in the $1-10million range. Values also determined as percent increase over previous income.

Two of three other expenditures which may compete with consumer purchases in this industry increased between 2000 and 2003 for the Northeast. Per capita, food purchased away from home increased from $2175 in 2000 to $2424 in 2003, or a increase of 11%. Per capita money spent on household furnishings and equipment dropped from $1540 in 2000 to $1452 in 2003, or a decrease of 5%. Per capita money spent on entertainment increased from $1915 in 2000 to $2117 in 2003, or an increase of 11%. (Bureau of Labor Statistics, stats.bls.gov/cex/home.htm#data)
As in the previous survey in 2003, it appears overall income in this
industry is more closely aligned with per capita income, and money spent on
entertainment, (plus food purchased away from home in this most recent period),
than on the housing industry and money spent on households. Certain segments of
the industry however, such as landscaping, may be more closely aligned with
indicators such as of the housing industry.
