Correcting for this to put productivity on a per capita basis, the ratio is about 60-40 which still is a pretty stark difference.

Looked up the numbers to be more precise. 197.9 million people lived in Biden counties. 130.3 million in Trump counties. The 197.9 million produced 71% of GDP while the 130.3 million produced 29%. Doing the math, the average resident in Biden counties was 61% more productive that the average resident in Trump counties. Or if you prefer, the average resident in Trump counties was 38% less productive than the average resident in Biden counties.
