That is because California has a larger population than all those states combined.
I have noticed states usually rank about the same by GDP as theydo by population.

It is laughable. Their GDP's almost as high as that of my entire (egalitarian) country, while our population's almost twice as big.

Make no mistake. We've been better off with the porn industry relocated to Hollywood anyway.

I guess it has nothing to do with our diversified, strong economy?

If GDP should follow population rank, wouldn't DC be more towards the bottom?

Did the gap between IL and PA grow? I thought they were neck and neck for a while. I'm surprised by how close FL are IL are given the differences in population. Ohio is surprising as well.

i've never thought of florida as an economic powerhouse...or at least some place people go for white collar/higher paying positions. everyone that i know under 65 that has moved there has been in the military (or otherwise govt) or didn't have a college degree.

DC has the US government. Not really fair to compare.

Keep in mind that about 70% (if not more) of Illinois' GDP comes from the metropolitan Chicago area. Whereas Florida is spread out between four major areas: Miami/SE Florida, Tampa Bay, Orlando, Jacksonville/NE Florida, as well as smaller metropolitan areas. While none of those four primary areas in FL are individually as large as Chicagoland, they are larger when combined together, which is reflected in the figures shown.

Btw, great list, dimondpark - I'm always fascinated by this type of data.

Most of the West? I've heard Europe is starting to catch up now, they'll probably outpace us.

Real GDP has picked up in Europe and I believe been stronger than the US for the last year or so. The big difference is that the US has stronger population growth, mainly due to immigration.

How great is the effect of a metro areas size on the overall state's GDP? GDP is mostly correlated with population. There are a few outliers, but I find it surprising that FL is more comparable to IL than NY given it's 7m+ people larger than IL. I understand it's not the premier business center in the US, but the numbers are still surprising.

Don't forget how industrial the Midwest still is. I drive all over the Midwest to visit family and the industrial base is still here, it's just automated and spread all over the countryside. There are massive industrial plants scattered out in the middle of Illinois or along the Mississippi. Even the low density parts of a state like Illinois or Iowa have relatively intense economic uses. Huge parts of a place like Florida are wilderness or just devoted to the hospitality/retirement trade. In Illinois you might wander across a huge industrial complex surrounded by farm fields crossed by railways with wind turbines as far as you can see. That is going to generate a lot more economic activity than a giant swamp full of alligators with tourism industry and retirement communities interspersed in it.

I think people forget this when they discuss how moribund the rustbelt is. It’s still an extremely wealthy region by global standards, it’s just that that wealth is far less broadly distributed than it was 40 years ago

Vermont is on there 2x. The "bigger" Vermont should be Rhode Island.

California, Texas and New York...if they were countries would be among the largest economies in the world.

I thought the idea of GDP rank vs. Population rank was interesting so I made the following table. The 2016 population ranks came from Wikipedia and are the Census Bureau's July 1, 2016 estimates. States with the same over/under number are ordered alphabetically. I also corrected the Vermont/Rhode Island issue JManc noted above in the OP's GDP column.
