Here we go again, using means for extremely skewed distributions :/

OECD reports median household disposable income as $31,100 in France and as $30,600 in the U.S. [1]

That's far more relevant than per capita GDP, if you're looking at the typical experience for the typical person.

The number you’re quoting as the US is actually the average across the oecd. The US is 50% higher

“In the United States, the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is USD 44 049 a year”

In addition the website says average, and doesn’t describe whether it means a mean or a median.
