Mississippi, the poorest state in the United States, is close to surpassing Europe's largest economy Germany's GDP per capita. Euronews Business compares US states with European countries.

The poorest US state's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is higher than that of Europe's top five economies, except for Germany. However, Mississippi competes closely with Germany, with a difference of just €1,500.

There's a lot of good suggestions, but for a more direct replacement, instead of GDP per capita (which is similar to mean income), I prefer median income. I don't care about the average income (which can be inflated by the ultra-rich), I care about the income of the average citizen.
