Three counties of Huzhou - Deqing, Changxing and Anji - made the 2021 list of China's top 100 counties in terms of the per capita disposable income of rural residents, local media reported.

The per capita disposable income of rural residents in Deqing was 42,548 yuan ($6,545.85), ranking the county 11th on the list. It was followed by Changxing (14th) and Anji (25th), whose per capita disposable income was 42,110 yuan and 39,495 yuan respectively. 

All three counties rose in the rankings. Changxing moved up three slots from the previous year, while the other two each moved up a spot.

In 2021, the average per capita disposable income of rural residents in the top 100 counties expanded 10.11 percent year-on-year to 34,039 yuan, 1.8 times the national average, according to the report which monitored 1,865 counties or county-level cities across the nation.

Huzhou has made concerted efforts to improve the income of rural residents in recent years. Last year, the income ratio between urban and rural residents in Huzhou stood at 1.65, marking the ninth year in a row that the city's urban-rural income gap had narrowed.
