What GDP per capita is

GDP per capita divides current-US$ GDP by population (NY.GDP.PCAP.CD). It is an average, not a wage and not a typical household income. Latest: $35,951 in 2025.

Exchange-rate swings move this series even when domestic output is unchanged. See also PPP per capita. From 1960 to 2025 (66 years): latest $35,951 (2025), previous year $33,797 (2024); low $519 (1960), high $49,627 (2012).
