Total Personal Income Growth and Change, 1969-2022
Introduction
Brown County vs. Indiana
Brown County:
2022 TPI = $921,811K
2022 Percent of State = 0.23%
Indiana:
2022 TPI = $398,522,647K
2022 Percent of U.S. = 1.83%
The annual total personal incomes (TPI) estimates compiled by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, (BEA) are among the most comprehensive, consistent, comparable and timely measures of economic activity available statewide and at the national levels. Personal income estimates are also the best available local level indicator of general purchasing power, and are therefore central to tracking and comparing county patterns of economic growth and change.
The following graphs highlight trends in the pattern of growth and change in the total personal income of Brown County and Indiana with comparison to the nation. The data used are those compiled by the Regional Income and Product Divisions of the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce. The 2017 constant dollar (real) estimates of total personal income reported in the tables and portrayed graphically below are determined using the Implicit Price Deflator for Personal Consumption.
Data Definition:
Personal income is the income received by persons from participation in production, plus transfer receipts from government and business, plus government interest (which is treated like a transfer receipt). It is defined as the sum of wages and salaries, supplements to wages and salaries, proprietors' income with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments, rental income of persons with capital consumption adjustment, personal dividend income, personal interest income, and personal current transfer receipts, less contributions for government social insurance. Because the personal income of an area represents the income that is received by, or on behalf of, all the persons who live in that area, and because the estimates of some components of personal income (wages and salaries, supplements to wages and salaries, and contributions for government social insurance) are made on a place-of-work basis, state personal income includes an adjustment for residence. The residence adjustment represents the net flow of compensation (less contributions for government social insurance) of interstate commuters.

Figure 2.
Figure 2 tracks Brown County's and Indiana's annual real total personal income for the period 1969-2022 to illustrate real total personal income patterns over time. During this 54-year period, Brown County's real total personal income rose from $150M in 1969 to $794M in 2022, for a net gain of $645M, or 430.68%. In comparison, Indiana's real total personal income advanced from $101,882M in 1969 to $343,427M in 2022, for a net advance of $241,545M, or 237.08%.

Figure 3.
Figure 3 shows Brown County's real total personal income growth in a broader context by offering direct comparisons across time with Indiana, the United States. The growth indices shown here express each region's real total personal income in 1969 as a base figure of 100, and the real total personal incomes in later years as a percentage of the 1969 base figure. This method allows for more direct comparison of differences in real total personal income growth between regions that may differ vastly in size.
Brown County's overall real total personal income growth was 430.68% over 1969-2022 outpaced Indiana's increase of 237.08%, and topped the United States' increase of 348.76%.

Figure 4.
Another interesting and insightful way of highlighting the total personal income growth of Brown County is to trace its individual percentage contributions to Indiana's statewide total personal income over time, as shown in Figure 4. A rising share means a region's total personal income grew faster, or declined less, than Indiana's total personal income, while a declining share shows it grew more slowly.
In 1969, Brown County's total personal income totaled 0.15% of Indiana's total personal income, while in 2022 it equated to 0.23% thereby yielding a +0.08% share-shift.

Figure 6.
Over the past five decades some counties have experienced extreme swings in growth, and often such swings have tended to coincide with the decades themselves. Figure 6 again shows the annual percent change in Brown County's real total personal income since 1970, but this time they are displayed with average growth rates for the decade of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020-2022.
During the 1970s, Brown County's annual real total personal income growth rate averaged 5.27%. It averaged 3.40% during the 1980s, 5.11% in the 1990s, 0.17% throughout the 2000s, 2.32% in the 2010s, 3.25% thus far this decade (2020-2022).
