While Washington's per capita personal income ranked the state as 11th highest, taxes collected by two different measures put the state below U.S. averages.

The rankings are based on 2007 data analyzed by the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis and were released Thursday from the Washington Department of Revenue.

Washington ranked 26th-highest nationally in state and local taxes as a percentage of personal income and 32nd highest in property tax states.

State taxpayers paid $109.25 in state and local taxes per $1,000 of personal income in 2007. That compares to a 2006 ranking at No. 28 and a 2005 ranking of No. 37. The 2007 U.S. average was $113.32 per $1,000 of personal income.

According to the report, Washingtonians paid a total of $4,269 in per capita annual state and local taxes or $35 more than the national average of $4,234.

Washington ranked No. 27 per capita in property taxes at $1,143, or $129 less than the national average.

Rankings were based on annual per capital personal income of $42,020 in Washington in 2007 as compared with $39,623 in 2006. While the tax rankings were based on 2007 income data, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported 2008 per capita income in the state of $42,857, ranking it No. 13 of all 50 states. The U.S. per capita average was $40,208 in 2008.
