Rankings / Income and wealth concentration

Disposable-income Gini

Gini x100 (post-tax, post-transfer)

45 economies, each at its own latest reading (2011–2025), ranked highest first. Median 31.5.

Fiscal-data top shares (WID.world, equal-split adults) and survey Ginis (OECD) measure different objects and never share a ranking; income is a flow and wealth is a stock, so they are ranked separately. WID extends its most recent years by extrapolation, so a latest reading is an estimate. Source: OECD Income Distribution Database, disposable income, current definition. Construction: country methodology.

A survey-based Gini, a different object from the WID fiscal top shares; shown on the 0-100 scale.

Full module: inequality, where these shares and Ginis are charted with their long-run trajectories and the estimate contests.
