Reading it. Total personal income divided by population. An average (mean), so high earners lift it; current (nominal) dollars.
Comparing states is harder than it looks. A dollar buys more in some states than others, and survey estimates carry a margin of error. Read the map for the pattern, not for a precise ranking.
