Per capita income

Per capita income reflects the economic prosperity of a region. Changes in per capita income directly impact the ability of individuals and families to provide for themselves, purchase homes, and improve their standard of living. On an individual level, education influences a person's ability to increase their income. For the region as a whole, the number and range of employment opportunities influence the extent to which the overall population can increase its income.
