我反對前面幾乎所有答案。 包括提問的，經濟總量根本無法代表州的窮富啊，同樣，一個物價高得地區和物價低的地區開薪資差異也無法彌補地區差異。
例如加州開7-10萬都無法和俄亥俄的5萬比。我們這邊全10分學區297平 (3200 sqft) 10年房+.55英畝的地才30萬美元上下。你加州同樣學區和地得200萬線了吧？
此外州本身預算也是問題。 有些州GDP很高，然而萬稅後還是入不敷出，面臨破產，你說這個州富有麽？
那麽我們從州和個人來看富有吧：
州財政情況（負債率越低的州說明遇到情況時可以呼叫資源相對多，有錢可花）：
全美最富的州：阿拉斯加 -- 州資產786億美元，負債106億美元， 負債率僅僅是13.5% 凈值680億美元高踞全美絕對數值第三。 因為州資產如此充分，阿拉斯加州是美國七個不受個人所得稅的州之一。 因為他們從石油和天然氣裏的稅就能讓這個州如此之富了。。。
第二到第十分別是：
內不拉斯加：州資產151億美元，負債22.5億，負債率 14.9%
南達科他：州資產74.1億美元，負債11.7億，負債率 15.8%
田納西：州資產410億美元，負債72億，負債率17.5%
愛達荷：州資產153億，負債32.8億，負債率21.3%
奧克拉荷馬：州資產230億，負債51億，負債率22.1%
懷俄明：州資產241億，負債55.6億，負債率23%
北卡羅來那：州資產668億，負債155億，負債率23.2%
猶他州：州資產312億，負債76.7億，負債率24.5%
北達科他：州資產265億，負債69.5億，負債率26.2%
全美債務最深的州：
紐澤西：州資產562億，負債1765億，負債率314.1% 已經可以破產3次了。 最核心的問題，高福利和原來制定的州退休金標準
伊利諾：州資產662億，負債1889.3億，負債率303.7% 同樣和紐澤西難兄難弟，沒排第一是因為紐澤西資產更少，所以債務率高。 核心問題還是福利債務。
麻薩諸塞：州資產362億，負債892億，負債率245.8% 繼續，福利債務
康乃迪克：州資產297.5億，負債676.1億，負債率227.2%
肯塔基：州資產350億，負債496.3億，負債率141.6%
加利福尼亞：州資產2494億，負債2797.5億，負債率112.2%
馬里蘭：州資產485億，負債509.2億，負債率105% 馬里蘭的問題主要是州的醫療補助問題嚴重。
羅德島：州資產707億，負債737億，負債率104.2%
夏威夷：州資產 212.4億，負債198.7億，負債率93.6%
路易士安那：州資產311.6億，251億，負債率80.6%
其他的州中，紐約，賓夕法尼亞都是80% 屬於危險線。 路易士安那負債率高主要是因為幾次颶風對州資產損失很大。 造成的負債比較多，但由於資產回升，負債率也是快速走低，和其他州結構性負債有所不同。
大家覺得那個州更富有呢？
由於聯邦稅率是各州一樣的， 那麽各州稅率就是造成收入的主要差距（大型城市的城市稅有額外影響）。 這裏還要加入物價水平對於實際收入的影響。
在這裏我首先根據物價水平取了州家庭中位收入的調整後真實收入。 然後加入所在州稅率（DC使用了城市稅 8.5%) 從而得到了真實收入（住大城市裏的有額外的稅，這裏就先忽略了）得到結果如下：
全美家庭(household, 通常定義是一夫一妻，外加2個子女）州稅後(聯邦/城市稅前)真實收入倒數前10的州
1。密西西比：$42,703
2。西維吉尼亞：$42,822
3。阿肯色：$43,729
4。新墨西哥: $43,776
5。紐約州: $45,893 （對，你沒看錯，紐約州就是加上紐約市，稅後均收入也是美國倒數前5，這裏還不算紐約的市稅）
6。 路易士安那: $46,216
7。佛羅裏達: $46,375
8。肯塔基: $46,547
9。緬因: $46,754
10。愛達荷: $47,618
美國家庭收入最富的10個州（標準同上）
1。阿拉斯加 $66,033
2。馬里蘭 $62,663
3。新罕普舍爾 $62,221
4。麻薩諸塞 $60,102
5。 北達科他 $59,907
6。佛吉尼亞 $59,623
7。 猶他 $59,435
8。 華盛頓特區 $59,144
9。 康乃迪克 $58,947
10。 明尼蘇達 $58,423
綜合所有數據來看，阿拉斯加的真實家庭收入大概是密西西比的1.55倍，但是阿拉斯加的工作機會相對較小（石油，漁業，林業），氣候也比較惡劣。 （同樣的還有新罕普舍爾，北達科他，猶他和明尼蘇達）
考慮到州政府負債情況（對未來加稅的預期，例如麻省負債高達245% 你說他未來不加稅減福利我都不信，類似的還有康乃迪克)，收入/稅率/教育水平，我個人認為馬里蘭-維吉尼亞一線地區還是相對比較好的選擇。
順便查了一下美國各郡的家庭均收入情況。
全美一共有16個郡家庭均收入在10萬美元以上。 算是中產裏的頂尖水平（因為豪富基本上不收薪資，生活和公司走，所以「收入」反而不好統計，這是薪資水平來算的。 所以說是中產頂尖代表。
他們分別是：
然後我們按州稅和物價進行調整（有些州如俄亥俄，田納西還有喬治亞的物價低，實際購買力強）後如下
我發現我所在的Delware county OH的大家真富啊。。。全美第4。。。另外靠近DC的油水真多，全美前三裏倆是他們
