Is this net worth per person or per household?

These figures are per household. Per-household figures are not comparable to per-adult estimates from sources like UBS.

Where does a $1,000,000 net worth rank in the United States?

Below the top 10%. The 90th percentile — the entry point to the top 10% — was $1,920,758 in the 2022 Fed SCF, so $1,000,000 sits under it. A seven-figure net worth is a common milestone, but on this data it does not by itself reach the top decile of households.
