About this data
What Alaskans earn from all sources — wages, proprietors' income, dividends/interest/rent, and transfers — the best single measure of household purchasing power. Statewide quarterly (SQINC1) back to 1948, plus annual borough/census-area detail (CAINC1) that is the *only* comprehensive income measure for rural Alaska. Alaska-specific hook: the Permanent Fund Dividend lands in Q4 and visibly bumps the transfer component every year.
Known issues & gotchas
- Endpoint:
https://apps.bea.gov/api/data/?UserID={BEA_API_KEY}&method=GetData&datasetname=Regional&TableName=SQINC1&LineCode=1&GeoFips=02000&Year=ALL&ResultFormat=json. Borough annual:TableName=CAINC1&GeoFips=COUNTY&LineCode=1—GeoFips=COUNTYwith an AK state filter isn't supported directly; either requestGeoFips=02000plus each borough FIPS (02013…02290), or fetch all counties and filter to02***. Confirm the cheapest pattern at build. - Same API mechanics as bea_gdp (shared connector code): one LineCode per request, comma-formatted string
DataValue("59,200.0"), errors delivered inside HTTP-200 bodies,TimePeriodlike2025Q3(quarterly) or2024(annual). - Units differ by table: SQINC1 personal income is millions of dollars SAAR; CAINC1 county personal income is thousands of dollars; per capita is plain dollars in both. Unit mixups here are exactly the parse disaster the bounds exist to catch.
- Alaska borough boundary changes (e.g., Chugach/Copper River split of Valdez–Cordova in 2019) mean borough FIPS appear/disappear mid-history; don't hard-fail on a changing geo set.
- The Q4 PFD spike is real data, not an anomaly — change limits must tolera
