Abstract
The convergence of income per head in the US. For the last ten years, there has been a convergence of income per head between the regions, the states or the counties. The following study tries to substantiate this fact by using quantitative methods (correlations, factorial analysis). Since 1880, the convergence of incomes per head between spatial units has been conspicuous, especially for the last twenty years. The main factors in this phenomenon are : the emigration of the black people from the country, the creation of more jobs, the modernization of agriculture. This convergence has been the result of a transfer of the "underdogs" from "poor regions" to "wealthy regions". But there is no reduction of the inequality of income within the spatial units, in spite of various schemes to curb poverty.
