Summary
Gini indices of selected countries are from publicly available data from the World Bank, Nationmaster, and the US Census Bureau. The Gini index is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Gini_coefficient" class="extiw" title="w:en:Gini coefficient">Gini coefficient</a> expressed as a percentage, and is equal to the Gini coefficient multiplied by 100. The Gini coefficient is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Statistical_dispersion#Measures_of_statistical_dispersion" class="extiw" title="w:en:Statistical dispersion">measure of statistical dispersion</a> most prominently used as a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Income_inequality_metrics" class="extiw" title="w:en:Income inequality metrics">measure of inequality of income distribution</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Wealth_condensation" class="extiw" title="w:en:Wealth condensation">inequality of wealth distribution</a>. It is defined as a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Ratio" class="extiw" title="w:en:Ratio">ratio</a> with values between 0 and 1: A low Gini coefficient indicates more equal income or wealth distribution, while a high Gini coefficient indicates more unequal distribution. 0 corresponds to perfect equality (everyone having exactly the same income) and 1 corresponds to perfect inequality (where one person has all the income, while everyone else has zero income). The Gini coefficient requires that no one have a negative net income or wealth. Worldwide, Gini coefficients range from approximately 0.249 in Japan to 0.707 in Namibia.
