GDP per person: 57 sourced records

What this topic measures

GDP per capita divides total economic output by population. Current US dollars are not adjusted for purchasing power. The unit is USD per person. This topic uses ratio scoring: a value half the target and a value twice the target are equally far away, so think in multiplicative bands rather than fixed steps.

A record is a named row in the frozen catalog, not necessarily a unique entity. Some topics contain several records with the same value, and a name round accepts any record at the closest distance. The table below is the complete answer set for this topic; there is no hidden shortlist.

All 57 records

Every row links to the original source used for that record. Values are rounded for display only; the scoring engine uses the stored source value. The snapshot date and unit are part of the topic’s definition, so a current live figure may differ.

The table has 57 rows, one for each accepted record. It does not list every alias or spelling variant; the game’s name matcher handles those at answer time. If two records share a value, both remain separate rows.

The range and the gaps

The 57 records run from $1,055.8 per person to $106,818.9 per person. The median is $17,081.5 per person, with a middle half from $4,876.3 per person to $52,864.7 per person. The largest adjacent gap is $14,157.7 per person between Denmark and Iceland. Every record has a distinct value in this snapshot.

The highest listed records are Ireland ($106,818.9 per person), Switzerland ($104,449.8 per person), Norway ($90,984.4 per person). The lowest are Ethiopia ($1,055.8 per person), Tanzania ($1,224 per person), Pakistan ($1,360.3 per person). Use these as anchors before you make a ratio or year estimate; the table below gives every value.

What the table does not tell you

These are single snapshot values in USD per person for 2023 World Bank snapshot · 57 selected countries. The table is not a time series, a range of typical values or a measure of uncertainty. A source can round, revise or use a different definition in a later release; the game uses the stored snapshot for every score. Read the source and the record label before treating a value as a current live measurement.

How to estimate this topic

GDP per person is a current-USD economic measure, not household income or median pay. Use $1,000, $10,000 and $50,000 bands. Exchange rates and price levels affect comparisons, so treat the values as the source’s snapshot rather than a universal living standard.
