Gini - index of income equality

The Gini coefficient is a measure of income distribution and is used to determine income inequality in a population. It ranges from 0 to 100%, with 0% representing perfect equality (i.e., every resident has the same income), and 100% representing perfect inequality (i.e., one resident earns all the income). The index of income equality refers to disposable income, post taxes and transfers, in a working age population aged 18–65.
