This section presents data on gross domestic product (GDP), gross national product (GNP), national and personal income, saving and investment, money income, poverty, and national and personal wealth. The data on income and expenditures measure two aspects of the U.S. economy. One aspect relates to the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA), a summation reflecting the entire complex of the nation’s economic income and output and the interaction of its major components; the other relates to the distribution of money income to families and individuals or consumer income. New information from the American Community Survey may be found in Tables 689−692.
