On the other hand, the per capita nominal income of Brazilians continued to grow and reached R$ 1,438.67 in 2019. The value is 4.8% higher than in 2018, which was R$ 1,373.00.
Performance
In a ranking, when compared to other states, Goiás appears as the 11th state with the highest household income. Compared to previous years, Goiás was again below the national average and lost two places compared to 2018.
It is worth remembering that the per capita household income half is calculated as the ratio between the total household income (in nominal terms) and the total number of residents.
This is how income from work and other sources of all residents is considered, including those classified as pensioners, domestic servants and relatives of domestic servants.
The values are obtained from the gross earnings effectively received in the survey's reference month, accumulating information from the first interviews of the four quarters of the Continuous PNAD of 2019.
Although a household survey that, every quarter, captures socioeconomic and demographic information in about 211 thousand households, in approximately 16 thousand census tracts, distributed in about 3.5 thousand municipalities.
However, according to the study, 75% of people with the lowest incomes are black or brown. The unemployment rate is also higher among self-declared black people, women and young people.
Although for the data collection, gender and color or race were considered. When contrasting gender differences, median per capita household income was R$ 928 for men and R$ 879 for women.
As a color or race category, the median household income per capita is a white person R$ 999 , a self-declared black person R$ 730.
