Shanghai is the only city with a per capita income of more than 40000 yuan in the first half of the year. As the city with the largest urban population in China, Shanghai has a large number of multinational enterprises and financial institutions such as Shanghai Stock Exchange. The headquarters economy and R & D innovation are very prominent, which has attracted a large number of talents. The income of these groups is high.

According to the data released by the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of statistics, in the first half of the year, the per capita disposable income of Shanghai residents was 40357 yuan, an increase of 10.3% over the same period last year, an increase of 0.5 percentage points over the first quarter and an average increase of 6.9% over the two years.

After Shanghai and Beijing, Hangzhou, a new first tier city, had a per capita disposable income of 37492 yuan in the first half of the year, ranking third, surpassing the two first tier cities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Thanks to the rapid development of digital economy, Hangzhou's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and residents' income has increased steadily.

In addition, the data released by Guangzhou, a first tier city, is only the per capita income data of urban and rural residents, and there is no data of all residents. Here, based on the permanent population and urbanization data of Guangzhou in the seventh national census released this year, the first financial reporter calculated that the per capita disposable income of all residents in Guangzhou in the first half of the year was 36713 yuan. It should be noted that this is an estimated number, which may deviate from the final data.

In terms of the location distribution of the top ten cities, they are mainly concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and the three metropolitan areas of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, of which the Yangtze River Delta is the largest, and a total of 6 cities are shortlisted. The Yangtze River Delta is the largest and most economically developed urban agglomeration in China, and the cities with high income are very dense.

In the first half of the year, the per capita disposable income of all residents in Shaoxing was 34611 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.8% and an average increase of 8.4% in the two years.

Zhejiang's regional economic development is relatively balanced and the income gap between urban and rural areas is small. Zhejiang is dominated by the private economy and rich in people. Each county basically has its own leading industry. Many counties have formed their own characteristic industrial clusters and have distinct leading clusters. The driving force for the development of each county and city is relatively strong.

Among the top ten, only Xiamen ranked outside the three urban agglomerations. Xiamen, a city specifically designated in the state plan in Southern Fujian, had a per capita disposable income of 34193 yuan in the first half of the year, an increase of 14.9%, of which the per capita disposable income of urban residents increased by 13.5% and the per capita disposable income of rural residents increased by 18.6%.

The average growth rate in two years is leading among sub provincial cities.

Ding Changfa, associate professor of Economics Department of Xiamen University, analyzed that Xiamen has made great efforts to make up for the shortcomings of infrastructure including subway, bridge and tunnel, airport, etc. in recent years. At the same time, Xiamen still has great development space. In recent years, it has made great efforts to attract investment. A series of emerging industrial projects have settled in Xiamen, and the overall development momentum of high-tech industry is good.
