In 2009, the 10 states where per capita spending was highest ranged from 13 to 36 percent higher than the national average, and the 10 states where per capita spending was lowest ranged from 8 to 26 percent below the national average. States with the highest per capita spending tended to have older populations and the highest per capita incomes, states with the lowest per capita spending tended to have younger populations, lower per capita incomes, and higher rates of uninsured.
