India by State

India by State

Thirty-one states and union territories compared on income, growth, prices and the health of their budgets. Pick a measure to colour the map, or plot any two against each other.

Each tile is one state, placed roughly where it sits on the map. Tiles are the same size whatever the state's population. Grey means no figure is published for that year.

    The dashed line is a least-squares fit. A correlation across states says nothing about cause: richer states differ from poorer ones in many ways at once.
