In response to "Argh, yeah, I mean median on that per capita question. I might never memorize this. -- nm" by mara

per capita is per person, the other measure is usually per househould

I might have a decently high per capita income say 75 percentile, but because I'm single (and don't have a spouse earning about what I do) my household figure might be 50 percentile.

You can have mean and median for both measures. They are not the same.
