Income of urban residents: The Yangtze River Delta is the richest, while the Pearl River Delta is low-key

The "First Financial Daily" reporter reviewed the data of 40 major cities including municipalities, provincial capitals (excluding Lhasa), cities with independent state planning, Suzhou and other cities with large economic aggregates, and A ranking of the per capita disposable income indicators of urban residents in these cities in 2015 shows that cities in the Yangtze River Delta have the highest per capita disposable income, while cities with per capita disposable income of urban residents below 30,000 yuan are mainly located in the central and western regions.

The Yangtze River Delta is the richest, while the Pearl River Delta is low-key

"Per capita disposable income of urban residents" refers to the income that reflects the entire cash income of households that can be used to arrange the family's daily life. The per capita disposable income of urban residents has long been an important indicator reflecting the income level of residents in a region and the level of urban economic development. It is the basis for understanding changes in residents' lives.

According to the statistical bulletin of the National Bureau of Statistics, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in 2015 was 21,966 yuan, an increase of 8.9% over the previous year. After deducting price factors, the actual increase was 7.4%; based on permanent residence, the per capita disposable income of urban residents Disposable income was 31,195 yuan, an increase of 8.2% over the previous year. After deducting price factors, the actual increase was 6.6%.

Of course, there are huge differences between different regions and cities.

Among them, Shanghai and Beijing, the two municipalities directly under the Central Government, lead the major cities. According to data from the Shanghai Bureau of Statistics, according to a sample survey, the per capita disposable income of the city's residents last year was 49,867 yuan, an increase of 8.5% over the previous year. After deducting price factors, the actual increase was 6.0%. Among them, the per capita disposable income of urban permanent residents was 52,962 yuan, an increase of 8.4%.

Beijing ranked second with 52,859 yuan, and the gap with Shanghai was only 103 yuan. As strong first-tier cities, the two major municipalities of Beijing and Shanghai have the most developed modern service industry, and the modern service industry is an industry where high-income people are concentrated.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the three industries with the highest average wages in 2014 (since the data for 2015 by industry have not yet been released, please refer to the 2014 data here) are the financial industry, which is 108,273 yuan. , which is 1.92 times the national average; the information transmission, software and information technology services industry is 100,797 yuan, which is 1.79 times the national average; the scientific research and technical services industry is 82,220 yuan, which is 1.46 times the national average. Among these industries, Beijing and Shanghai are the most concentrated areas.

In 2015, there were three cities in total where the disposable income of urban residents exceeded the 50,000 mark. In addition to Beijing and Shanghai, there is also Suzhou. The figure in Suzhou reached 50,400.

It is worth noting that among the top five cities, except Beijing, the other four cities are all located in the Yangtze River Delta, namely Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Ningbo. In addition, Nanjing and Wuxi ranked seventh and eighth respectively. These cities all exceeded the 45,000 yuan mark.

In comparison, several major cities in the Pearl River Delta are much bleaker.

The highest city, Guangzhou, ranked 6th with 46,735, while Shenzhen ranked 9th. The other two major manufacturing cities, Foshan and Dongguan, both have more than 39,700, which is far behind similar cities such as Suzhou, Wuxi, Ningbo and Wenzhou.

So, why are several cities in the Pearl River Delta lagging behind significantly?

Tan Gang, member of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice president of the Shenzhen Municipal Party School, analyzed to the "First Financial Daily" that population and industry Structure is a big reason for the difference between the two. In terms of population, the urban permanent population of these cities includes the registered population and the permanent migrant population. The difference is that the Yangtze River Delta cities have a larger proportion of registered population, while the Pearl River Delta cities have a larger proportion of non-resident residents. Typically, the overall income of the registered population is higher, so the income levels in Yangtze River Delta cities are higher.

According to the "Attractiveness Ranking of China's Key Cities" recently released by the Standard Ranking Research Institute, the 10 cities with the largest proportion of migrant population in the permanent population are Dongguan, Shenzhen, Foshan, Xiamen, Shanghai, Beijing, Suzhou, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Zhuhai. Among them, Guanzhou, Shenzhen and Foshan occupy the top three places. Taking Dongguan as an example, the registered population is only over 1.9 million, but the migrant population reaches over 6.4 million.

Tan Gang said that differences in industrial forms are also a major reason. Many collective economies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are more developed, and there are many large enterprises. The collective economy is relatively standardized, and the government's fiscal revenue and the income earned by the people from the collective economy will be relatively high. The private economy in the Pearl River Delta is relatively developed, and property income such as rental housing is difficult to be reflected in statistical data.

Generally speaking, although the disposable income of urban and rural residents includes wage income, net business income, property income and transfer income. However, in actual statistics, wage income accounts for the majority, while engaging in business and obtaining property income are less represented.

Peng Peng, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Comprehensive Reform and Development, analyzed to the "First Financial Daily" that the difference in statistical caliber is a major difference between the two places. Jiangsu and Zhejiang have more collective economies and their statistics are more standardized. In Guangdong, the small individual economy accounts for a larger proportion, and statistics are not very standardized. There are particularly many people who are content with being small and rich, and try every means to hide their income. "The characteristic here is that it is relatively low-key and does not reveal its wealth. A lot of income is hidden. For example, as a business city, Guangzhou has many people who support three generations in a shop and have no formal income, but the money spent on shopping is not reflected in the income.

”

In terms of industrial structure, Peng Peng said that the Pearl River Delta has a high proportion of traditional industries and labor-intensive industries. For example, Guangzhou, as a traditional commercial capital, has many professional wholesale markets and a particularly large number of employed people. , but the income is not very high. “There are particularly many employment groups in Guangdong. Overall, the employment quality in the Yangtze River Delta is higher. ”

The income growth rate in the Northeast is slow

In terms of regional distribution, the differences between cities in different regions are very obvious. Cities in the developed eastern coastal areas are far ahead of those in the central, western and northeastern regions. Cities.

Among the developed areas along the eastern coast, outside Beijing and Shanghai, the Yangtze River Delta generally has the highest income, followed by the Pearl River Delta, followed by cities in Fujian and Shandong. Among them, the top 16 cities have the highest income. , except for Changsha, which ranks 13th, the rest of the cities are from developed coastal areas. Of course, not all cities in developed coastal areas are at the top. For example, the municipality of Tianjin had a per capita GDP of 109,000 yuan last year. , ranked first among 31 provinces in terms of provinces, surpassing Beijing and Shanghai. However, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in Tianjin was only 34,101 yuan last year, which is not only far behind Shanghai and Beijing, but also ranked behind Changsha and Shanghai. Behind Wuhan, Hohhot, Shenyang, Dalian and other central and western and northeastern cities, it ranks only 22nd among 40 cities.

The reason is mainly due to the difference in industrial structure. For example, compared with Beijing. Shanghai's economic structure is dominated by tertiary industries such as finance and the Internet, while Tianjin's is dominated by heavy and chemical industries. The income of residents is obviously not as good as that of cities dominated by modern service industries.

Experts point out that due to differences in industrial structure, the ratio of per capita disposable income to per capita GDP in many areas in the north is much lower than that in developed coastal areas in the south. In particular, some areas are mainly driven by investment and energy consumption, and the main investment entities are. Mainly central enterprises and large state-owned enterprises, while increasing their output value, the income of ordinary people has not kept pace with them.

The gap between the six provincial cities in central China is relatively large. Among them, Changsha has the highest level. 39,961 yuan, approaching the 40,000 yuan mark, which is comparable to many developed cities on the eastern coast, and 12,000 yuan higher than Taiyuan, which is the lowest in the central region.

Of course, there are powerful entities behind this data. Economic support. Data show that in 2006, Changsha’s GDP ranked only 28th in the country, but by 2015, Changsha’s GDP had jumped to 14th among major cities in the country, rising 14 places in 9 years. Equipment manufacturing, cultural industries, medicine, automobiles, etc. have made considerable contributions. Taking the equipment manufacturing industry as an example, in recent years, famous domestic equipment manufacturing companies such as Sany Heavy Industry, Zoomlion, and Sunward Intelligent have emerged in Changsha.

The figure in Wuhan, the central city in the central region, is 36,436 yuan, ranking in the middle of the 40 cities. The three provincial capitals of Hefei, Nanchang and Zhengzhou are in the early 30s. It is around the national average. The lowest in the central region is Taiyuan, ranking fifth from the bottom among the 40 major cities.

Among the western cities, Kunming, Chengdu and Xi'an lead the way, and these three cities are all higher than the national average. average. It is worth noting that the airport passenger throughput of these three cities is among the top ten in the country. The tertiary industry is relatively developed and the income is relatively high. Among them, Xining is relatively low. Ranking last with 25,232 yuan, Lanzhou, Chongqing, Guiyang, Yinchuan, Nanning, etc. are also relatively far behind. It must be pointed out that as a municipality directly under the Central Government, Chongqing's total population is close to 30 million, which is equivalent to a medium-sized province. If only the main urban area is calculated, this ranking will be higher.
