Clearly, there are a few outlier states that make up a disproportionate amount of US population and GDP. California is by far the largest economic force in the US, at nearly double Texas, the next largest state by GDP and population. New York is another major player in both economy and population.
There are also a few US states with very small populations and correspondingly low gross domestic products. Those include Vermont, Wyoming, and Alaska. Obviously, population is highly correlated with gross domestic product. One can make a further analysis of this trend by looking at gross domestic product per capita by dividing total GDP by population.
The following chart shows US territories and Commonwealths. These are US owned places that do not enjoy the same rights as the 50 US states. This is often a point of political contention, and places like Puerto Rico are often trying to achieve US statehood.
