Key Takeaways California has the highest average gas price in the U.S. at $4.59 per gallon, while increases were most pronounced in Oregon, Alaska, and Idaho. Average statewide gas prices come from AAA for November 25, 2025. Gas prices across the United States show significant variation heading into late 2025. While national averages remain relatively stable, regional differences highlight the impact of taxes, supply constraints, and transportation costs. This map visualizes the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in every state. The data for this visualization comes from AAA via SmartAsset. West Coast Prices Remain the Highest California once again leads the nation with an average gas price of $4.59 per gallon, maintaining its long-held position at the top due to higher taxes and strict fuel standards.

These elevated prices reflect a combination of geographic isolation, environmental regulations, and limited refining capacity. As a result, the West Coast continues to be the most expensive region for drivers. Sharpest Price Increases Occurred in the Northwest States like Oregon, Alaska, and Idaho experienced the steepest year-over-year increases from 2024 to 2025. Oregon’s price of $3.82 highlights rising supply costs and tighter fuel inventories in the region. Alaska and Idaho saw similar dynamics, driven by transportation constraints and seasonal demand. Southern and Mountain West States See Relief In contrast, many Southern and Mountain West states recorded modest declines in gas prices. Oklahoma now has the lowest statewide average at $2.50 per gallon, followed by Mississippi and Louisiana. Lower taxes, abundant refining infrastructure, and shorter transport routes all contribute to these reduced prices.

Key Takeaways Since 1985, U.S. median household income rose roughly 255% while median house prices surged more than 415%. The widening gap helps explain why affordability challenges remain even during periods of income growth. This infographic compares the growth of U.S. household income against median house prices over nearly four decades. While incomes have steadily climbed, housing costs have accelerated at a much faster pace. This creates a growing disconnect between what households earn and what homes cost. The result is a long-term shift in affordability that affects buyers across income levels. The data for this visualization comes from FRED and Motio Research. It tracks nominal median household income alongside the median sales price of U.S. homes from 1985 to 2025. The Early Years: A Manageable Gap In 1985, the median home cost around $82,800 while the median household earned $23,620. That meant a home was roughly 3.5 times annual income. By 1990, home prices had risen faster than incomes but still remained within a range accessible to many middle-class buyers. Analyzing the entire period, America’s price-to-income ratio swung from a modest 3.5 to peaks above 5.0, reflecting housing costs rising significantly faster than household incomes over time. YearHousehold IncomeMedian House PricesPrice-to-Income Ratio 1985$23,620$82,8003.5 1990$28,838$123,9004.3 1995$32,140$130,0004.0 2000$40,551$165,3004.1 2005$44,097$232,5005.3 2010$49,578$222,9004.5 2015$53,600$289,2005.4 2020$68,400$329,0004.8 2025$83,730$426,8005.1 The 2000s Housing Boom and Its Aftermath By 2005, home prices jumped to $232,500, more than five times median household income. After the 2008 crisis, prices briefly dipped, but incomes did not rise quickly enough to close the gap. The Pandemic Era: A Surge in Prices From 2020 to 2024, the affordability gap widened significantly. While median income grew from $68,400 to $83,730, home prices climbed from $329,000 to $426,800. Low interest rates, remote work, and supply shortages accelerated demand during the pandemic. Even as rates later rose, high prices remained sticky. The gap between American home prices and incomes is especially worse in coastal U.S. cities. Notably, the median home price in LA is 12.5 times the median annual household income. This ratio stands at 10.5 in San Jose and 9.8 in New York on the East Coast.

Yet across the world’s most populous country, fertility rates vary widely by region. Across roughly 31 states, fertility rates are below replacement level, prompting pronatalist policies. China ranks second, with an estimated 8.7 million births in 2025. Today, it has one of the world’s lowest fertility rates, averaging 1 birth per woman—down from more than 6 in 1970. As we can see, Nigeria follows next with 7.6 million births, a figure set to rise to 8.1 million by 2050. Over this same period, it is expected to overtake the U.S. and become the world’s third most populous country.

These economies experienced rapid industrialization, export-driven growth, and significant structural transformation over the past 25 years. Asia’s Boom in Real GDP per Capita (2000-2025) Asia dominates the top of the ranking, with the five fastest growing economies on a real GDP per capita basis, and holding 14 of the top 20 spots. China’s rise stands out above all other countries, with real GDP per capita reaching $25,035 in 2025, up 518% from just $4,050 since 2000. Vietnam (266%) and Bangladesh (208%) also show substantial gains as they developed competitive manufacturing sectors and integrated more deeply into global trade networks. India’s 235% growth highlights the benefits of economic liberalization, demographic momentum, and expanding services industries. Together, these four Asian economies have reshaped global growth and trade since 2000, accounting for a large share of the rise in world output during the 21st century. Eastern Europe’s Catch-Up Growth Several Eastern European countries show strong convergence toward Western European living standards. Romania’s real GDP per capita grew 180% from 2000 to 2025, while Poland grew 150%. Both of these countries more than doubled their GDP per capita to reach over $41,893. Czechia is another European country that showed high levels of growth since 2000 at 67%, lifting its GDP per capita from $30,700 to $51,331. EU accession (2004 for Czechia and Poland, and 2007 for Romania), increased investment, and productivity gains fueled this 25-year catch-up phase for these three countries. UAE’s GDP per Capita Decline Driven by Population Surge Not all of the world’s 50 largest economies in terms of GDP saw gains in real GDP per capita since 2000. The United Arab Emirates experienced a decline in real GDP per capita, falling from about $99,000 in 2000 to $72,386 in 2025. This was primarily driven by a rapid increase in population, which surged from 3.5 million in 2000 to 11.35 million by 2025. With economic output spread across a much larger population, real GDP per person decreased even as total economic activity expanded.

Key Takeaways Saudi Arabia leads with nearly $1 million in natural resources per person, far ahead of other prominent resource-rich nations. Large populations push China and the U.S. to the bottom of the top 10 despite their large total reserves. How many dollars of natural resource wealth do the world’s leading countries have per person? This ranking breaks it down, based on numbers from the 10 countries with the highest natural resources value (Statista) divided by 2025 population figures (Worldometer). Resource values are based on 2021 estimates. Saudi Arabia Dominates Per-Capita Resource Wealth Saudi Arabia tops the ranking with almost $1 million in natural resources for every resident. The country’s vast oil reserves remain its economic backbone, and low population density amplifies its per-person total. Even compared to other resource-rich countries, the gap is striking—Saudi Arabia’s per-capita figure is roughly 12 times higher than that of the United States.

Canada’s value is driven by oil sands, timber, and mineral reserves, while Australia benefits from iron ore, coal, and natural gas exports. Both nations combine large landmasses with relatively modest populations, creating an outsized per-capita advantage. Large Populations Reduce Per-Capita Wealth in Major Economies China and the United States hold enormous natural resource totals but fall to the bottom of the top 10 once population is factored in. China has more than 1.4 billion people, reducing its per-capita figure to just over $16,000. The U.S., despite a $45 trillion resource valuation, ranks eighth because its population dilutes the per-person share.

Key Takeaways Just 1.6% of adults worldwide hold nearly 48% of global wealth. Almost 3.1 billion adults, or 82% of the world’s adult population, control just 12.7% of total wealth. The bottom wealth tier, for those in the $0-$10k wealth bracket, represents 1.55 billion adults but only 0.6% of global wealth. The world got richer in 2024, with global personal wealth growing by 4.6%. However, the distribution of that wealth remains uneven. At the top of the global wealth pyramid sits a small elite holding nearly half of the world’s assets, while billions of people in lower tiers own only a sliver of global wealth. This infographic uses data from UBS’ latest Global Wealth Report to break down the global wealth pyramid by number of people and the share and amount of wealth they hold. The Data on Wealth Distribution UBS segments the world’s 3.8 billion adults into four wealth tiers, ranging from those with less than $10,000 to those with more than $1 million, who lie at the top of the global wealth pyramid. The table below shows how wealth is distributed globally between these four tiers of adults: Wealth Band (USD)Number of Adults% of AdultsTotal Wealth (USD)% of Wealth >$1 million60 million1.6%$226.47 trillion48.1% $100k – $1 million628 million16.4%$184.51 trillion39.2% $10k – $100k1.57 billion41.3%$56.82 trillion12.1% $100 billion150.5%$2.35 trillion15.0% $50 billion – $100 billion160.6%$1.15 trillion7.3% $1 billion – $50 billion2,86098.9%$12.17 trillion77.7% Total2,891100.0%$15.67 trillion100.0% Of these, just 15 individuals own more than $100 billion in wealth, while another 16 individuals fall in the $50 billion to $100 billion wealth bracket.

Hawaii ranks third at $7,330. Coastal states like California, New Jersey, and Maryland also show above-average balances, consistent with higher incomes but also higher spending. States with the Lowest Balances Wisconsin posts the lowest average balance at $5,206, well below the U.S. average. Iowa and West Virginia follow with balances under $5,500, reflecting more conservative credit usage in these regions. Many low-debt states also report strong payment behavior, with higher percentages of consumers maintaining positive standing on revolving accounts. Credit Lines and Consumer Activity Higher-balance states generally have higher credit lines, such as D.C. at over $34,000 per consumer. Conversely, states with lower average balances often have tighter credit availability, such as Mississippi at just over $19,000. Despite the variation, more than 80% of consumers in nearly all states have active revolving accounts, showing how widespread credit card use remains.

Published 2 hours ago on December 8, 2025 By Jenna Ross Graphics & Design Jennifer West Zack Aboulazm Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Reddit Pinterest Email The following content is sponsored by Terzo Mapped: The Biggest Housing Bubble Risks Globally Key Takeaways Miami has the highest housing bubble risk in 2025, driven by an extreme price-to-rent gap. Tokyo and Zurich also show high risk due to investor demand and low financing costs. Which housing markets could be headed for a correction? In cities like Miami, Zurich, and Tokyo, real estate prices are pushing past what local incomes and rents can justify. Amid these high prices, investors are watching closely for signs of instability. This graphic, created in partnership with Terzo, shows the level of housing bubble risk for major cities globally. It’s part of our Markets in a Minute series, which features quick economic insights for executives. What is a Real Estate Bubble? A “bubble” is a large and long-term mispricing of an asset, which can only be identified in hindsight when the bubble bursts and prices plummet.  UBS examined five factors to gauge bubble risks: Home prices outpace local incomes Home prices rise faster than rents Mortgage lending expands too quickly Construction activity surges City prices far exceed national averages These factors are correlated with previous housing bubbles and help determine risk levels, but they cannot predict if or when a correction will happen. The Top Bubble Risks, Ranked UBS analyzed 21 select cities globally. Miami has the highest bubble risk score. Although price growth has slowed, its price-to-rent ratio is now above 2006 bubble–era levels.  RankCityBubble Risk CategoryBubble Risk Score 1MiamiHigh1.7 2TokyoHigh1.6 3ZurichHigh1.6 4Los AngelesElevated1.1 5DubaiElevated1.1 6AmsterdamElevated1.1 7GenevaElevated1.1 8TorontoModerate0.8 9SydneyModerate0.8 10MadridModerate0.8 11FrankfurtModerate0.8 12VancouverModerate0.8 13MunichModerate0.6 14SingaporeModerate0.6 15Hong KongLow0.4 16LondonLow0.3 17San FranciscoLow0.3 18New YorkLow0.3 19ParisLow0.3 20MilanLow0.0 21São PauloLow-0.1 Source: UBS, data collected through Aug. 28, 2025. Tokyo follows closely, driven by persistent price increases despite only modest rent and income gains.  Zurich rounds out the top three, with property values rising five times faster than incomes over the past decade. The city now has the world’s highest price-to-rent multiple—it would take 43 years of rent to buy an apartment of the same size.  While these cities remain magnets for investment and migration, affordability is stretched thin. In Tokyo and Zurich, sustained investor demand and low financing costs have fueled further appreciation. Year-Over-Year Shifts Some cities have seen notable shifts in risk. Toronto and Hong Kong had the biggest declines in their risk scores, thanks to declining real prices and tighter regulations.  On the other hand, Dubai and Madrid climbed the ranks. Dubai, in particular, has experienced a sharp price rebound alongside robust rent growth. Because prices are still affordable relative to other major global cities, optimistic investors are hoping for strong future returns. Why Housing Bubble Risks Matter For executives and asset managers, these rankings serve as a warning. In cities with high bubble risk, a price correction could sharply reduce the value of real estate holdings. Investors with concentrated exposure to markets like Miami or Zurich may want to reassess their risk profile. Likewise, corporate location planning and real estate strategy may need to adapt. As affordability erodes, workforce retention could suffer as employees move to less pricey areas. Great insights, like these housing bubble risks, start with great data.

Key Takeaways Carbon emissions are forecast to decline across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific between 2024 and 2050. Africa and the Middle East are projected to see emissions rise significantly over the period, as population growth increases energy demand. By 2050, Europe’s carbon emissions are projected to be 42.9% lower than 2024 levels. Like Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America are forecast to see emissions decrease over time as populations shrink and green technologies gain wider adoption. This graphic shows carbon emission projections by region, based on data from the IEA.

Despite the Asia-Pacific region contributing the highest share of emissions, they are projected to fall by nearly 6% over the next 25 years. China, in particular, has rapidly expanded its EV market, along with driving the lion’s share of global clean energy additions in recent years. In North America, carbon emissions are set to decrease nearly 9%. Still, this is far from meeting climate goals. Notably, 92% of new U.S. electricity additions in 2025 and 2026 are from clean sources. In contrast, Africa and the Middle East are projected to see a substantial rise in emissions. With some of the world’s fastest-growing populations, rising energy demand is set to increase emissions by over 40%. However, each region comprises a relatively small share of the global total by 2050.

Key Takeaways The same amount of cash goes 30% further in Arkansas than it does in California. By looking at the real purchasing power of $100, we can get a sense of how cost of living varies between U.S. states. Is a dollar in your pocket the same in Albuquerque as it is in New York City? The face value may be the same, but in reality that dollar just goes further in certain metro areas and states. Today’s visualization shows the relative value of $100 in each U.S. state. It’s based on data from GOBankingRates, which uses publicly available federal datasets such as those from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Affairs, and the U.S. Census American Consumer Survey to do the calculations. The Data: State-by-State Purchasing Power Below you’ll see how far $100 goes in each state.

In California it’s the opposite case, where a hundred-dollar bill is only really worth $87.42. In the case of California and other expensive states, purchasing power is eroded away by the high cost of living, local taxes, and other factors that prevent you from making the most of your money. High Income ≠ High Purchasing Power Here’s one interesting takeaway: many of the highest-income states, such as California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Hawaii, also rank among the worst for real dollar value. Massachusetts has a six-figure median income, but $100 only buys $92 worth of goods. Meanwhile, Iowa and Kansas have more modest incomes, but a dollar goes almost 25% further than in an expensive state like Massachusetts. This shows that higher wages in coastal states are partially or completely eaten by cost of living premiums. The Affordability Belt Looking at the map, there is a clear “affordability belt” that can be seen visually. In the Mountain West, Midwest, and South—including Idaho ($108.58), Montana ($109.76), Louisiana ($111.66), Ohio ($108.19), and West Virginia ($110.23)—each dollar goes a little further.

Key Takeaways Asia’s urbanization has been the most dramatic globally, with megacities like Shanghai, Delhi, and Jakarta expanding into vast metropolitan regions housing tens of millions. Much of Central and mountainous Asia remains sparsely built-up. Jakarta and surrounding areas now form one of the world’s largest megacity regions, with more than 30 million residents. Asia has undergone one of the most significant urban transformations of the last half-century. Cities that were once mid-sized have expanded into megacity regions, with populations rivaling entire countries. Today, Asia is home to many of the world’s largest metropolitan areas, from Tokyo and Delhi to Shanghai and Dhaka. While coastal corridors and river basins have become densely built-up, large inland regions remain sparsely urbanized, creating a striking contrast across the continent. The data for this visualization comes from World Population Review.

This growth reflects decades of migration toward economic hubs in Indonesia. Similar patterns appear in China’s Pearl River Delta and across major Indian corridors, where neighboring cities have fused into single metropolitan zones. These megaregions highlight a defining feature of modern Asian development: cities expanding outward until they merge with the next. The Indo-Gangetic Plain Becomes a Continuous Urban Belt From Lahore to Dhaka, the Indo-Gangetic Plain has evolved into one of the most densely populated urban corridors on Earth. Cities like Delhi, Kolkata, Dhaka, and Lahore form a nearly unbroken chain of development supported by fertile land and major river systems. In contrast, mountainous regions such as Tibet, the Himalayas, and Central Asia remain lightly urbanized.

Key Takeaways Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto saw the biggest home price increases, each rising more than 160% over the past 20 years. Southern metros like Dallas, Charlotte, and Denver rank among the fastest-growing U.S. housing markets. Major coastal cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York saw slower growth but are among the most expensive markets overall. Home prices across North America have surged over the past two decades, driven by population growth, limited housing supply, and post-pandemic demand. This infographic shows how average home prices have changed from July 2005 to July 2025 across 25 major North American cities, based on Zillow data compiled by Hanif Bayat. Where Home Prices Have Risen the Most On average, home prices across the top 25 cities in North America have risen by 92%, or nearly doubled, between 2005 and 2025.

The top three fastest-appreciating cities are all in Canada. Vancouver leads with a 175% increase since 2005, followed by Montreal at 167% and Toronto with a 165% rise. Canada’s big metros have experienced rapid population growth and strong foreign-buyer interest, combining to create some of the world’s hottest real estate markets. Vancouver and Toronto, in particular, have faced long-term housing shortages and rank among America’s least affordable housing markets. In the United States, cities in the Sunbelt region in the South have seen their home prices more than double since 2005. These include Dallas (140%), Charlotte (134%), and Denver (125%), followed by Seattle (119%), which is the only more northern metro among the top five U.S. cities. Houston and Atlanta have also seen strong growth in home prices, along with Miami and Tampa in Florida. Coastal Cities Show Slower Home Price Growth Despite being the three most expensive housing markets, major coastal cities like San Francisco (80%), Los Angeles (73%), and San Diego (71%) show relatively slower growth in home prices. On the East Coast, prices in New York have also grown moderately, rising 60% over the last two decades. These coastal metros were already expensive in 2005, leaving less room for percentage-based appreciation as compared to Southern cities like Dallas and Houston. Meanwhile, among the top 25 cities, home prices have grown slowest in Washington, D.C. and Chicago, rising 41% between 2005 and 2025.

Key Takeaways The Philippine Sea is the world’s largest regional sea, covering nearly 5.7 million km². Many of the world’s largest seas play major roles in climate regulation, biodiversity, and global shipping routes. The world’s largest regional seas span a wide range of climates, from the warm tropics to the frigid waters around Antarctica. They are major subdivisions of the global ocean system, often defined by surrounding landmasses or submarine ridges. This visualization highlights the 30 largest regional seas on Earth by surface area, ranging from the vast Philippine Sea to the chilly Labrador Sea. The data for this visualization comes from Wikipedia. The term “sea” is not rigidly defined, and in this dataset it refers primarily to large subdivisions of the global ocean rather than isolated inland water bodies. These boundaries often follow continental margins, island arcs, or oceanic ridges. The Philippine and Coral Seas Dominate the Rankings The Philippine Sea stands out as the world’s largest regional sea at nearly 5.7 million km², making it more than twice the size of the Mediterranean. Its vast expanse hosts some of the planet’s deepest ocean trenches and most active tectonic zones. The neighboring Coral Sea, the second largest, is home to the Great Barrier Reef and is a major reservoir of marine biodiversity.

Their warm waters support major monsoon systems that shape regional climates and agriculture. Further west, the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Guinea play key roles in trade and energy transport. Cold-Region Seas Cover Vast, Remote Areas Several polar seas also make the list, including the Weddell, Barents, and Greenland Seas. These regions are essential for deep-water formation, a process that helps drive global ocean circulation. Their extreme climates limit human activity, yet they store significant carbon and influence sea ice patterns. As climate change reshapes the poles, these remote seas will become even more important for understanding Earth’s shifting systems.

Key Takeaways College is cheaper in Utah thanks to low tuition and strong state funding for public universities. While Pennsylvania invests heavily in student aid, those gains are offset by some of the nation’s highest tuition and fees. This visualization compares the cost of attending college as a share of household income for full-time, in-state students living on campus. Alaska is excluded from the analysis because data was unavailable. The data for this visualization comes from WalletHub as of October 2025. WalletHub’s methodology includes tuition, fees, room and board, and associated expenses. Pennsylvania Tops the List as the Least Affordable Pennsylvania ranks as the most expensive state for college, with costs reaching 72.5% of household income. This reflects high tuition levels even though the state invests heavily in financial aid.

These states often feature strong academic institutions but also high living expenses and tuition rates. Limited public funding contributes to higher student costs compared to the national average. Utah, North Dakota, and Wyoming Stand Out for Affordability On the opposite end of the spectrum, Utah is the most affordable state with college costs representing just 27.7% of household income. This reflects low tuition, efficient public university systems, and strong funding models. Institutions in the state often offer programs for low-income students, including incentives that provide free tuition and fees. North Dakota and Wyoming also remain cost-effective, supported by relatively low fees and competitive state investment.

Key Takeaways Toyota remains the world’s best selling car brand, reaching 4.7 million units in the first half of 2025. BYD saw the fastest growth among major automakers and is projected by industry experts to overtake Ford by the end of 2025. Global car sales continue to shift as legacy brands defend their share against fast-growing electric vehicle makers. In the first half of 2025, Toyota again led the global market by a wide margin, while several Asian automakers held strong positions across the top 15. This visualization highlights how each automaker performed, comparing unit sales with annual growth rates. A notable trend is the rise of Chinese manufacturers, especially BYD and Geely, which are expanding both domestically and internationally. Their rapid growth contrasts with declines seen among several established brands in Europe and Japan. Data & Discussion The data for this visualization comes from industry analyst Felipe Munoz, who compiles official manufacturer sales results and estimates for global light-vehicle markets. The numbers include both internal combustion and electric vehicles. Toyota’s Dominant Global Lead Toyota sold more than double the units of most competitors, reaching 4.73 million vehicles in H1 2025. This represents 6% year-over-year growth, reinforcing Toyota’s strength across markets from North America to Asia. Despite ongoing industry electrification, Toyota’s broad lineup and global production scale continue to support its leadership position.

Key Takeaways Roughly 162 million U.S. adults identify as Christian, making Christianity the largest religious bloc in the country. About 76 million U.S. adults say they have no religious affiliation. The visualization reimagines the U.S. religious landscape as a group of 100 people. Each person represents roughly 1% of U.S. adults. Totals may not sum to exactly 100 due to rounding in survey responses. The data for this visualization comes from Pew Research Center’s 2023–24 Religious Landscape Study. Christianity Remains the Largest Bloc, but It’s Diverse Christians make up about six in ten U.S. adults in this snapshot, yet the bloc spans multiple traditions with distinct histories, geographies, and growth patterns. Evangelical Protestants are the single largest subgroup at nearly one quarter of the “100 people,” while Catholics account for just under one-fifth. Mainline and Historically Black Protestant traditions together represent 16 people, underscoring Protestantism’s internal variety. The two “Other Christian” people reflect communities often missed in headline figures, from Eastern Orthodoxy to millenarian groups.

These airports manage some of the highest monthly flight volumes in the country, which increases the likelihood of bottlenecks during peak travel periods. Cold-Weather Airports See Greater Seasonal Variability Airports in the Northeast and Midwest tend to experience lower on-time rates due to winter storms, low visibility, and seasonal operational slowdowns. Boston Logan (67.0%), Buffalo (65.3%), and Syracuse (65.1%) are notable examples. Southern and Coastal Airports Lead in Punctuality At the opposite end of the spectrum, warmer-weather airports such as Honolulu (87.4%), Palm Beach (86.1%), and San Diego (78.6%) show some of the highest on-time rates. These regions benefit from fewer seasonal disruptions, consistent temperatures, and more predictable operational conditions.
