4. When should I use GDP per capita versus median household income?
Use GDP per capita for broad macro comparisons of productivity and national output per person. Choose median household income when you want the typical family’s earnings, distribution, or poverty insights. For policy, combine both measures plus poverty rates and Gini coefficients to assess economic performance and living conditions more fully.
