Duval economic profile
Per capita personal income is the personal inome of the residents of an area divided by the population.
While the county and state incomes dropped in 2009 from 2008, Duval’s decline was less. Duval County’s per-person income fell 5.3 percent to $37,927 and the state’s income fell 6.5 percent to $37,382.
The income drop came during the national recession, which began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009, although economists say the recession in Florida lasted until early 2010.
