Per capita income in Acre increased to R$ 1,392 in 2025, marking it as the third lowest in Brazil according to IBGE data.
In 2025, Acre reported a monthly per capita income of R$ 1,392, as per the latest research conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). Despite a 9.5% increase from the previous year, its ranking deteriorated from fourth to third lowest in the country. The report indicates that while the per capita income has risen, it still lags significantly behind the higher averages seen in states such as the Federal District (R$ 4,538) and São Paulo (R$ 2,956).
The increase in income, rising from R$ 1,271 in 2024, reflects a broader economic trend, but it also highlights the persistent disparities in income distribution across Brazil. The national average per capita income for the entire country stands at R$ 2,316 for the year 2025, which further emphasizes the gap between wealthier regions and less affluent states like Acre. This situation invites further scrutiny of economic policies and potential development initiatives aimed at addressing these inequalities.
The data originates from the Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) which employs a methodical approach to ascertain the average income by evaluating the total earnings of individuals within a household divided by the total number of residents. The findings serve as a crucial metric for understanding economic conditions in Brazil and indicate a need for improvements in areas lagging behind in income generation.
