List of top Chinese cities by GDP per capita

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As one of the types of administrative divisions in China, cities includes three categories: municipalities, prefecture-level cities, and county-level cities. In addition, China's two special administrative regions are highly urbanized and commercialized, and also one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Both the international and Chinese governments classify them as cities. In terms of area, prefecture-level cities and municipalities are comparable, and the population and economic sizes are not much different, belonging to the same order of magnitude. There are no county-level cities in municipalities, which is the biggest difference between municipalities and prefecture-level cities in administrative divisions. Mostly, a China's county-level city has all been reformed and developed from a county as a whole, but the development focus, policies authorized by the central and provincial governments, and authorized development plan are different from that of a county. Based on this, this entry only includes China's prefecture-level cities, municipalities and special administrative regions. leagues and prefectures with economic characteristics in the same level divisions are appropriately included. Unless the unique resource development drives GDP growth, resulting in a sharp increase in the per capita and attracts attention, the inclusion of such administrative regions in this entry is only a case study due to their lack of advantage in population size and overall economic development level. If you want to fully understand the economic level of prefecture-level administrative regions, you must refer to list of prefecture-level divisions of China by GDP.

Macau has the highest GDP per capita in China (US$73,115).

The GDP indicators included in this entry are all based on nominal GDP at current price. The converted US dollar GDP data is calculated based on the annual average exchange rate announced by the Chinese government (NBS) that year. The IMF publishes the purchasing power parity index of various currencies based on the average purchasing power of the US dollar in the United States and the average purchasing power of various currencies in the local area. It is adjusted twice a year, and the data varies greatly each time. The purchasing power parity of the GDP indicator is no longer included in the entry.

Methodology

A county-level city is itself a type of administrative divisions of a prefecture-level city. Compared with prefecture-level cities, the economic size and population size of a county-level city are not on the same order of magnitude. Including China's county-level cities and prefecture-level cities in the same set of comparative data is like including U.S. states and U.S. counties in the same set of data for comparison. In fact, they are not comparable. This entry does not include the per capita GDP of a county-level city.

The GDP per capita here is based on the annual average population. The annual average population or mid-year population is the average of the resident population at the end of the two consecutive years.

The per capita GDP of mainland China exceeded US$10,000 for the first time in 2018, and only 11 of the 31 provinces had a per capita GDP of over US$10,000 in 2018, and as of 2023, the per capita GDP of mainland China exceeded US$13,000, with 11 provinces exceeding the average level; 21 provinces had a per capita GDP of over US$10,000, accounting for the absolute majority. The per capita GDP of the cities included in this entry cannot be lower than the average level in order to highlight the characteristics of the entry.

According to the level of economic development, the top 90 Chinese cities in terms of nominal GDP per capita can basically reflect the overall development level of China's economy. The per capita GDP levels of these cities are higher than the national average. The unit of measurement for the data listed is the local currency Chinese yuan. In order to facilitate international comparison, the local currency is converted into US dollars, and the purchasing power parity (int'l dollar) indicators change too frequently and cannot be used as the main reference. All GDP data are officially released by the cities. This entry currently contains GDP data for 2023 and 2024, of which the 2023 GDP is revised based on the results of the fifth national economic census in 2023.
