The PEOPLE VS COUNTRY graph is a little concerning. Household wealth rising faster than USA GDP. Is there some normal, boring reason why this would happen?

Yes, the assets they hold are overvalued -- at least if you beleive US equities, housing, and other assets shouldnt grow in value faster than US GDP.

Those numbers are in two different units: wealth is $ and GDP is $/time. Increasing wealth/income ratio could mean people are saving more.
