Per earner. The source publishes household consumption divided by everyone in the household; the labels multiply it by 2.58, the people one worker's income stands for in Côte d'Ivoire, so a person can place their own income.
In Côte d'Ivoire the distribution is measured on consumption, not income. The two are not interchangeable, and the multiplier does not turn one into the other.

What a reading in Côte d'Ivoire measures
- Your place: which of the bands above your income is in now, against the band it was in a year ago, read as a position in the income distribution of Côte d'Ivoire itself.
- Your ground: both incomes with consumer prices in Côte d'Ivoire taken out, against how the middle of the distribution moved over the same year.
- Nothing is compared across borders. A reading in Côte d'Ivoire is measured against Côte d'Ivoire alone.
A band is a range, so a move inside one band does not register, and published distributions understate the very top. The confidence level above travels onto every card measured here.
