Rhode Island Fast Facts:

Mean annual income: $38,000
Per capita income growth rate: 5.8%
Providence metro area population: 1.6 million (higher than the state itself; the metro area extends into Connecticut & Massachusetts)

Though Rhode Island is smallest state in the Union, it packs a big punch with a proud and active population of just over 1 million. It has plenty to offer tourists and residents, with more than 400 miles of coastline and cosmopolitan cities. The population center for Rhode Island is Providence County, the city of Cranston in particular. However, Rhode Island is so small that most of the state is within a few hours' drive from any point.

Rhode Island has the 16th highest share of GDP per capita in the country, at just under $30,000. Though the state was once a big industrial center, the Great Depression forced Rhode Island to generate income in other areas. Now health services make up the largest industry in Rhode Island, followed by tourism. CVS and Textron, both Fortune 500 companies, are based in Woonsocket and Providence, respectively.
