Definition
人平 is a formal term meaning “per capita” or “per-capita average,” commonly used in statistics, official reports, and economic contexts in mainland China. It can function as an adverb modifying a verb (e.g., 人平分配 “distribute on a per-capita basis”) or as a verb-like element followed directly by a number to express the average amount per person (e.g., 人平三千元 “an average of 3,000 yuan per person”). Note that 人均 (rén jūn) is the more colloquial synonym; 人平 carries a more bureaucratic tone.
