Per capita income is per person. So if a family of four -- two adults and two children -- live in a neighborhood where the per capita income is $20k, then the expected income of that family is $80k. In other words, it counts children who don't even earn an income.
As such, median per capita income is always going to be considerably lower than, say, median HHI.
(Apologies if you already knew all this--I had to make a guess as to which figure from the article specifically you were referring to.)
