Income inequality (Gini)

Higher scores mean income is less evenly shared. Gini runs from 0 to 100.

Meaning and limitations

The Gini coefficient measures inequality in equivalised disposable household income after taxes and transfers, adjusted for household size, on a 0–100 scale; higher values indicate greater inequality.

This is the Eurostat EU-SILC survey year; it does not identify the calendar year when all income was earned. Country rows cover the 27 current EU Member States. The EU27 reference is Eurostat’s published aggregate, and some country-year figures may be unpublished.
