The average income earned per person in a certain location (city, region, nation, etc.) in a given year is measured as per capita income (PCI). It is computed by dividing the total revenue of the region by the entire population.
Per capita income is calculated by dividing national income by population size. Per capita income is often used to compare the wealth of various populations and assess a sector’s average income.
Per capita income is another way to assess a country’s level of life. It is usually expressed in terms of a commonly used international currency, such as the euro or the US dollar. It is useful because it is widely known, easily calculated from readily available GDP and population estimates, and produces a useful statistic for comparing the wealth of sovereign territories.
