Income per Person (GDP per capita, PPP) in Honduras: 1800 to Today (and Tomorrow)

At MYRIAD, we look at the statistics of human lives to understand the material reality of existence. Income per person represents more than a mathematical average; it is the tangible economic breadth available to individuals as they navigate daily work, sustenance, and survival. Every value is a statistical fact about the lives actually lived in Honduras, capturing the foundational resources that dictate the boundaries of a person's physical world and the quiet persistence required to secure a basic living.

The historical arc reveals a steady, long-term upward trajectory across three centuries. From an 1800s estimate of 1,000 intl-$, the economic foundation shifted through a 1900s estimate of 1,700 intl-$, gradually climbing to 4,000 intl-$ in the 1950s and 10,000 intl-$ in the 1990s. This movement continues into the 2020s, where income per person (gdp per capita, ppp) in Honduras stands at 14,500 intl-$, with projections extending toward a 2100s projection of 44,356 intl-$.

In the 2020s, ranking #97 of 157 countries, the material landscape of a life in Honduras is vastly different than it was for those born into the 1800s estimate of 1,000 intl-$. While the trajectory suggests an expanding horizon of possibility, the current position relative to other nations defines the contemporary resource landscape. These figures map the evolving capacity of an individual to access the necessities of existence within a global context of shifting wealth.
