Information
on the Gini Coefficient
and
Income Inequality

|
The information here has been used by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and Cited by a World Bank report. It used to be located at www.ncat.edu/~burkeym/gini.htm , but it has been moved here for safekeeping.
Update:
People have been asking me about Census 2010 Gini
Coefficieints.
Please
see my YouTube video explaining why there won't be any, and where to
get some substitutes. See www.burkeyacademy.com , or here is the direct link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3IG3mXdJRc
I have found
it difficult to find Gini coefficients to discuss in class and use in
my research, so I created this page to help other teachers and
researchers.
If you find this
information helpful or have suggestions or corrections, please let me
know!
