Median income (after tax)
Median equivalised household disposable income per person, USD PPP — what the middle household actually has to spend after taxes and transfers. OECD countries only for now; US states pending a Census API key.
Not to be confused with Median income (before tax). That one is income before tax, per adult, from the World Inequality Database; this one is household income after tax and transfers, from the OECD. The two cover different sets of countries.
