| Morehouse Parish vs. Louisiana Comparative Trends Analysis: Total Personal Income Growth and Change, 1969-2022 Introduction Morehouse Parish: 2022 TPI = $1,039,337K 2022 Percent of State = 0.42% Louisiana: 2022 TPI = $250,170,566K 2022 Percent of U.S. = 1.15% The annual total personal incomes (TPI) estimates compiled by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, (BEA) are among the most comprehensive, consistent, comparable and timely measures of economic activity available statewide and at the national levels. Personal income estimates are also the best available local level indicator of general purchasing power, and are therefore central to tracking and comparing county patterns of economic growth and change. The following graphs highlight trends in the pattern of growth and change in the total personal income of Morehouse Parish and Louisiana with comparison to the nation. The data used are those compiled by the Regional Income and Product Divisions of the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce. The 2017 constant dollar (real) estimates of total personal income reported in the tables and portrayed graphically below are determined using the Implicit Price Deflator for Personal Consumption. Data Definition: Personal income is the income received by persons from participation in production, plus transfer receipts from government and business, plus government interest (which is treated like a transfer receipt). It is defined as the sum of wages and salaries, supplements to wages and salaries, proprietors' income with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments, rental income of persons with capital consumption adjustment, personal dividend income, personal interest income, and personal current transfer receipts, less contributions for government social insurance. Because the personal income of an area represents the income that is received by, or on behalf of, all the persons who live in that area, and because the estimates of some components of personal income (wages and salaries, supplements to wages and salaries, and contributions for government social insurance) are made on a place-of-work basis, state personal income includes an adjustment for residence. The residence adjustment represents the net flow of compensation (less contributions for government social insurance) of interstate commuters. Figure 1. Figure 1 depicts Morehouse Parish's annual total personal income over 1970-2022 in current and constant (2017) dollars. Constant dollar measurements remove the effects of inflation. They allow for comparison of changes in the real purchasing power of Morehouse Parish over time. When measured in current dollars, Morehouse Parish's total personal income increased 1,163.48%, from $82M in 1970 to $1,039M in 2022. When measured in constant 2017 dollars to adjust for inflation, it advanced 115.21%, from $416M in 1970 to $896M in 2022. Figure 2. Figure 2 portrays Morehouse Parish's real total personal income growth in a broader context by offering direct comparisons across time with Louisiana, the United States. The growth indices shown here express each region's real total personal income in 1969 as a base figure of 100, and the real total personal incomes in later years as a percentage of the 1969 base figure. This method allows for more direct comparison of differences in real total personal income growth between regions that may differ vastly in size. Morehouse Parish's overall real total personal income growth was 131.36% over 1969-2022 trailed Louisiana's increase of 278.13%, and fell below the United States' increase of 348.76%. Figure 3. Another interesting and insightful way of contrasting the total personal income growth of Morehouse Parish is to compare its individual percentage contributions to Louisiana's statewide total personal income over time, as shown in Figure 3. A rising share means a region's total personal income grew faster, or declined less, than Louisiana's total personal income, while a declining share shows it grew more slowly. In 1969, Morehouse Parish's total personal income comprised 0.68% of Louisiana's total personal income, while in 2022 it totaled 0.42% thereby yielding a -0.26% share-shift. | | | | Total Personal Income Share-Shift 2022 vs. 1969 | Share- Shift* | | 2022 | vs. | 1969 | | -0.26% | = | 0.42% | - | 0.68% |

Figure 4. Figure 4 displays the short-run pattern of Morehouse Parish's real total personal income growth by tracking the year-to-year percent change over 1970-2022. The average annual percent change for the entire 53-year period is also illustrated on this chart to provide a benchmark for gauging periods of relative high--and relative low--growth against the backdrop of the long-term average. On average, Morehouse Parish's real total personal income grew at an annual rate of 1.69% over 1970-2022. The parish posted its highest growth in 1973 (15.71%) and recorded its lowest growth in 2022 (-11.22%). In 2022, Morehouse Parish's real total personal income declined by -11.22% Figure 5. Over the past five decades some parishes have experienced extreme swings in growth, and often such swings have tended to coincide with the decades themselves. Figure 5 again depicts the annual percent change in Morehouse Parish's real total personal income since 1970, but this time they are overlayed with average growth rates for the decade of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020-2022. During the 1970s, Morehouse Parish's annual real total personal income growth rate averaged 5.03%. It averaged 0.23% during the 1980s, 2.47% throughout the 1990s, 1.76% in the 2000s, -0.33% during the 2010s, -0.62% thus far this decade (2020-2022). Figure 6. Figure 6 compares the decade average growth rates for Morehouse Parish noted in the previous graph with the corresponding decade averages for Louisiana and the nation. As the chart reveals, Morehouse Parish's average annual real total personal income growth led Louisiana's average during the 1970s (5.03% vs. 4.96%), recorded under Louisiana's average in the 1980s (0.23% vs. 1.34%), trailed Louisiana's average throughout the 1990s (2.47% vs. 2.94%), lagged Louisiana's average during the 2000s (1.76% vs. 2.87%), fell below Louisiana's average throughout the 2010s (-0.33% vs. 1.32%), and trailed Louisiana's average over the 3 year period of the current decade, 2020-2022 (-0.62% vs. 0.74%). Finally, relative to nationwide real total personal income growth trends, Morehouse Parish topped the nation during the 1970s (5.03% vs. 3.50%), recorded underneath the nation in the 1980s (0.23% vs. 3.16%), lagged the nation throughout the 1990s (2.47% vs. 3.27%), posted below the nation during the 2000s (1.76% vs. 2.06%), lagged the nation in the 2010s (-0.33% vs. 2.72%), and recorded underneath the nation over 2020-2022 (-0.62% vs. 2.10%). | | | | Real* Total Personal Income Growth: Average Annual Percent Change | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1.69 | 5.03 | 0.23 | 2.47 | 1.76 | -0.33 | -0.62 | -11.22 | | | 2.57 | 4.96 | 1.34 | 2.94 | 2.87 | 1.32 | 0.74 | -6.87 | | | 2.89 | 3.50 | 3.16 | 3.27 | 2.06 | 2.72 | 2.10 | -4.19 |
