Gross Domestic Product by Metropolitan Area
Today is 11/04/2008. Next release date: September 2009.
On September 25, 2008, the BEA released new estimates of GDP by metropolitan area for 2006 and revised estimates for 2004-2005. This release provided both current-dollar and real (chained-dollar) GDP estimates for 363 metropolitan areas, 61 detailed industries for each area. All of the estimates are retrievable from this page. You will also find links to the news release and a forthcoming Survey of Current Business article.
The estimates are based on county earnings by industry estimates from BEA's local area personal income accounts released April 24, 2008 and on the GDP-by-state estimates released June 5, 2008. County earnings data are not available prior to 2001 on a NAICS basis. Therefore, the reference (or base) year for the real (chained-dollar) estimates is 2001.
To retrieve and display the desired estimates, please follow steps 1 through 5 to specify one or more GDP-by-metropolitan-area components, metropolitan areas, industries, and years in the appropriate list boxes. Then specify the format in which the estimates will be displayed on your screen.

Tips:
You can make multiple selections in the list boxes by clicking on selections while holding down the SHIFT key (if your selections are contiguous) or the CONTROL key (if they are scattered).
In Step 5 press Display to display the data in an HTML-formatted table (best for viewing on the screen or for printing)
Press Download to download a comma-separated-value ("CSV") file (best for importing into a spreadsheet or database application).
The more data you select, the longer it will take to retrieve and display the results.
If you select everything or nearly everything, there will be too much data to display and the retrieval system will refuse the request, because this interactive web page is designed to display just selected components of the data rather than the whole data file.
