1As of October 26, 2006, the Bureau of Economic Analysis renamed the gross state product (GSP) series to gross domestic product (GDP) by state.

Notes: Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding. Chained dollars are not additive, especially for periods farther away from the base year of 2000. Because of this, GDP for all regions is not equal to total GDP.
