The $100 Billion Counties

A few pages back, we showcased the speciality of each of America’s states. This time, this particular map will highlight the counties that have a gross domestic product of at least $100 billion. This fact is made all the more impressive once we consider the fairly small portions of the country they occupy.

As of 2020, the total GDP or gross domestic product of the United States is $20.94 trillion. A huge chunk of this comes from New York City with $1.8 trillion in GDP. It is also given credit as the richest city in the world. Next to it is the city of Los Angeles with $1 trillion, which is equivalent to Indonesia’s whole economy. Meanwhile, Chicago comes third with an impressive $689 billion.
