Income Equality Rankings

Ranked by the Gini coefficient of income distribution: 0 would be perfect equality, 100 one person holding everything. Survey years vary by country, and pre-tax versus post-transfer definitions matter; treat single-point differences as noise.

In the latest World Bank data, Slovakia leads at 23.8, ahead of Kiribati and Slovenia.

A ranking can't weigh what matters to you.

One table, one metric. Your decision has a budget, a timeline and dealbreakers — the matcher asks about those, then answers with this same data.
