Gini index of income inequality: 0 = perfect equality, 100 = maximal inequality. Lower is more equal.

100 = most equal (lowest Gini in the dataset), 0 = most unequal

Mixed reference years (2005–2025). This metric uses each country's most recent available year, so countries are not all measured in the same year — cross-country comparison is weakened. Each row shows its own reference year.

How this score is built

Gini index of income inequality (World Bank indicator SI.POV.GINI, from the World Bank's Poverty and Inequality Platform). The raw Gini runs 0 (perfect equality) to 100 (maximal inequality), so higher is worse.

Normalized with min–max and inverted for direction, so on the site 100 = most equal (the lowest Gini in the data) and 0 = most unequal. Coverage is uneven and survey years vary by country — the exact raw Gini and its year are shown per country. Most recent available year per country.
