What are the top ten cities with the highest per capita income in my country? Why county-level cities catch up with first-tier cities
Generally speaking, cities with high incomes will have a strong attraction to floating population.
So, which cities have the highest per capita income?
According to the statistics of the per capita disposable income of residents in major cities (including municipalities directly under the Central Government, provincial capital cities, cities under separate planning and ordinary prefecture-level cities), a reporter from China Business News found that the top ten cities with the highest per capita income in my country in 2020 are Shanghai, Beijing, and Beijing. Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Ningbo, Xiamen and Wuxi.
Among them, the per capita income of the first seven cities exceeded 60,000 yuan.
It should be noted that the current data released by Guangzhou is only for urban and rural residents, and there is no data for all residents. Here, a reporter from China Business News uses Guangzhou's permanent population and urbanization data in 2019 as the base to estimate 2020. The per capita disposable income data of all residents in Guangzhou is an estimate, and there may be some deviation from the final data.
Shang Beishen ranks in the top three, Suzhou and Hangzhou closely follow Guangzhou
Statistics show that in 2020, the per capita income of 7 cities will exceed 60,000 yuan.
Shanghai is the only one to break the 70,000 yuan mark, reaching 72,232 yuan.
As the city with the largest urban population in my country, Shanghai has a large number of multinational companies and financial institutions such as the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The headquarters economy, R&D and innovation are very prominent, which attracts a large number of talents, and these groups have higher incomes.
The disposable income of Beijing residents also reached 69,434 yuan, close to the 70,000 mark.
In general, the income of residents of the two strong first-tier cities, Shanghai and Beijing, is absolutely leading in the country.
In recent years, the three industries with the highest income in my country are information transmission, software and information technology services, finance, scientific research and technical services.
Beijing and Shanghai are the most concentrated areas of these high-income industries, so the average income of residents is high, and the savings balance is also large.
The first-tier city of Shenzhen has developed financial, Internet, and high-tech industries, and its income is also relatively high.
Data show that in 2020, the per capita disposable income of Shenzhen residents is 64878 yuan, a nominal increase of 3.8% over the previous year.
Guangzhou, a sister city in the same province, ranks fourth.
Ding Changfa, an associate professor in the Department of Economics of Xiamen University, analyzed by CBN that the modern service industry in first-tier cities is very developed, not only serving itself, but also serving neighboring provinces and even the whole country.
At the same time, the headquarters economy in first-tier cities is also the most prominent.
"There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below." Suzhou and Hangzhou have been prosperous since ancient times.
In 2020, the per capita income of Suzhou and Hangzhou closely followed Guangzhou, ranking fifth and sixth respectively.
Among them, the per capita income of Suzhou residents reached 62,582 yuan, which is not far behind Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Data from the Suzhou Bureau of Statistics show that in 2020, Suzhou will achieve a regional GDP of 2017.05 billion yuan.
This is the sixth city in the country whose GDP has exceeded 2 trillion yuan, and it is also the only ordinary prefecture-level city among the six cities. It is hailed as the "best prefecture-level city" by the outside world.
Not only that, in 2020, Suzhou's general public budget revenue will reach 230.3 billion yuan, an increase of 3.7% over the previous year, making it the fourth largest city in the country for the first time.
The number of declarations, accreditations, net additions and effective numbers of high-tech enterprises in the city hit a record high. At the end of the year, there were 9,772 effective high-tech enterprises, approaching 10,000, and it continued to rank fifth in the country.
After entering the new century, Hangzhou’s information economy is leading the country and has developed into my country’s "e-commerce capital". In terms of multiple indicators, Hangzhou has approached or even surpassed the first-tier city Guangzhou, and has become the fifth first-tier city. trend.
Statistics released by the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Statistics show that in 2020, the city’s digital economy core industries will achieve an added value of 429 billion yuan, an increase of 13.3%, which is 9.4 percentage points higher than the GDP growth rate, accounting for 26.6% of GDP, an increase of 1.9 points from the previous year. percentage point.
In addition, the per capita disposable income of residents in Nanjing in 2020 will reach 60,606 yuan, an increase of 5.2% year-on-year, and this is the first time it has exceeded 60,000 yuan.
Ningbo, a city under separate planning, ranks eighth, and Wuxi in southern Jiangsu ranks tenth.
From the perspective of regional distribution, the 10 highest-income cities are mainly located in the three economic circles of the Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao, and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. Among them, the Yangtze River Delta accounts for six.
Ding Changfa analyzed that in history, the Yangtze River Delta has always been the most economically developed region with a strong business atmosphere.
After the reform and opening up, the Yangtze River Delta region has not only an endogenous economy, such as a collective economy and a private economy, but also an export-oriented economy in southern Jiangsu. At the same time, the overall business environment in the Yangtze River Delta is very good.
Among the top ten, only Xiamen is outside the three major urban agglomerations.
Xiamen, which is located in a separate city in southern Fujian, has a very high quality of development although its economic aggregate is not particularly high.
Statistics from the Xiamen Municipal Bureau of Statistics show that, from the perspective of sub-provincial cities, Xiamen's economic growth has surpassed Xi'an, Nanjing and Hangzhou, maintaining the first place for two consecutive years.
With 1.4% of the province’s land area, Xiamen creates 14.5% of the province’s GDP, 26.2% of fiscal revenue, and nearly 50% of foreign trade imports and exports.
The land output rate is 376 million yuan per square kilometer.
Why can the per capita income of county-level cities surpass first-tier cities?
It is worth noting that the aforementioned statistics refer to cities at the prefecture level and above.
In fact, at the county-level city level, some cities have fairly high income levels.
On January 27, the Yiwu Survey Team of the National Bureau of Statistics released data: Yiwu residents' per capita disposable income reached 71,210 yuan in 2020, breaking through the 70,000 yuan mark for the first time and continuing to lead the province.
Among them, the per capita disposable income of urban permanent residents has reached a new level of 80,000 yuan, leading the country for 14 consecutive years; the disposable income of rural permanent residents has reached a new level of 40,000 yuan.
The income ratio of urban and rural residents dropped to 1.90:1 for the first time, and the integration of urban and rural areas entered a new stage of development.
The income data of all residents in Yiwu has surpassed the three first-tier cities of Beijing, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, and is second only to Shanghai.
The data shows that in 2020, the per capita wage income of all residents in Yiwu is 30,815 yuan, and the net operating income is 13,573 yuan.
At the same time, with the expansion of investment channels, residents' financial management capabilities have increased, and the proportion of investment in deposits, purchase of financial products, and savings insurance has been gradually increased, increasing residents' property income such as interest and dividends.
In 2020, the per capita net income of Yiwu residents was 18,468 yuan, an increase of 5.1%.
Not only Yiwu, but also county-level cities such as Cixi and Yuyao in Zhejiang are close to the 60,000 mark.
According to Ding Changfa’s analysis, Zhejiang is the most developed region in my country’s private economy. The county economy in Zhejiang has the most developed industrial chain in the country, such as hardware from Yongkang and leather from Haining. Each county has its own industrial cluster, and the gap between urban and rural areas is small. The overall income level is very high.
Outside Zhejiang, the income levels of several county-level cities in southern Jiangsu are also quite high.
Statistics show that in 2020, the per capita income of Kunshan residents will reach 62,238 yuan, and Jiangyin will reach 61,859 yuan, which is comparable to the per capita income of major cities such as Guangzhou and Hangzhou.
