The US saw an unexpected 2.5 percent growth in real gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023 — but on the state level, some parts of the country reported much weaker economies.

Using data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the folks at Visual Capitalist mapped the ten US states with the lowest real GDP growth last year. The figures are presented in inflation-adjusted terms, using chained 2017 dollars.

Topping the list of slowing-growing states is Delaware, where the real GDP for 2023 was $74 billion and year-over-year growth was -1.2 percent. Following behind are Wisconsin (+0.2 percent), New York (+0.7 percent) and Missississippi (+0.7 percent).
