Per Capita Dividends, Interest and Rent
Description: Per capita dividends, interest and rent is calculated from dividends, interest and rent and population. Dividends, interest and rent is one of three primary categories of personal income. Stocks are a primary source of dividends; savings accounts are one source of interest earned; and rent includes royalties from patents as well as net income from a rental property.
Dividends, interest and rent data are presented on Arizona Indicators since 1969 for the United States, Arizona, and the 15 Arizona counties. State and national data are reported quarterly four months after the end of a quarter, with revised annual data reported in September. County data are released annually 16 months after the end of a year. The figures are adjusted for inflation using the GDP implicit price deflator.
Data Sources: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis. Per capita dividends, interest and rent is available from Table CA30 http://www.bea.gov/regional/reis/default.cfm?catable=CA30.

Comments on the Quality of the Data: Some of the inputs to the calculation of dividends, interest and rent by state and county are estimated. The population also is estimated.
