For example, consider the United Statesin 2011, with a population of about 313,400,000 people and a GDP of $15,094 trillion. In this case, the per capita income, or average income per person, would be equal to approximately $48,000. • National economic indicators such as GDP or GNP are typically quoted on a per capita basis when presented in the media.
