About this ranking

Income inequality on a 0 to 100 scale, where 0 is perfect equality.

Covers Spain, the EU and its countries, and the United States. For other countries use gini_index_world_bank, which is measured on a different basis. US values measure household money income before taxes and are not directly comparable with the EU-SILC measure based on equivalised disposable income.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the cities are compared on one definition. 5 cities with data in other periods have no value for 2022 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
