The south shall rise again. Oh, never mind, we already did...

And Florida's leading the pack. Florida and South Carolina recorded the fastest real GDP growth in 2025, each expanding by 3.1%.

Sun Belt states generally outperformed the national average, while the Plains and Great Lakes regions lagged. North Dakota (0.3%) and Washington, D.C. (0.4%) posted the slowest growth, though every state economy expanded. The U.S. economy grew 2.1% in real terms in 2025, but that national figure tells only part of the story. While every state economy expanded, some grew nearly ten times faster than others.

Using the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), this map compares real GDP growth across all 50 states and Washington, D.C. No states grew more in 2025 than Florida and South Carolina, which both expanded by 3.1%.

 

Their strong growth rates reflect the continued economic momentum of the American South and the broader Sun Belt. Arkansas (2.2%), North Carolina (2.7%), and Texas (2.5%) also performed better than the national average. The ranks U.S. states based on their 2025 real GDP growth, measuring the change in overall economic output after adjusting for inflation.
