    Median household income isn’t the same as GDP per capita. Moreover, both the value of GDP and the correction for PPP are dependent on the methodology to estimate them.

      Median household income isn’t the same as GDP per capita.

      On top of that, it’s also disposable median income, so accounts for taxes and such, which could also be a factor between high and low tax states.

      I would think the normal number is average, but IDK?
      Normally median is specified as average is normally the default.
