I’ve drawn a blank in my first search for per capita income in Quang Binh, Quang Tri, TT Hue, Quang Nam and Da Nang—in comparison to other regions of the country. Suggestions?
And… does someone know the Vietnamese for the saying that was told me in English as being something like “before taking salty fish, see how much rice is in your bowl” ??

Dear Diane Fox,
I think that the saying would be "Liệu cơm gắp mắm".
Cheers,

Hi there Diane,
I thought this source might have it: http://www.worldbank.org/mapvietnam/ <http://www.worldbank.org/mapvietnam/> - but it seems that’s one of the few indicators they don’t include. Thought I’d send through to you and the list anyway as it’s a useful and interesting resource and might be helpful.
Sorry!
Caitlin

Hi Diane,
There's a section on income in the 2012 household living standards survey.
Summary tables are posted online in English and Vietnamese here:
https://gso.gov.vn/default.aspx?tabid=417&idmid=4&ItemID=13886 (click on
the link marked "Thu nhập"). Those tables will give you an estimate of
monthly income by province for 2012. Hope that helps!

In case anyone has trouble downloading the file from the GSO website,
here's the PDF itself. I think attachments are fine on the VSG list, but in
case I'm wrong about that, my apologies in advance.

To put it in careful academic language: wow!! I am amazed by these monthly (!!) figures. When I first went to Viet Nam (1991), the annual per capita income was $200 something. The change is astonishing. It’s one thing to hear about improvement, another thing to see these figures (even given all the variables of cost of living, etc.)
Many thanks, Tim.
