List of countries by income equality

This is a list of countries sorted by income inequality metrics, such as Gini coefficients. The Gini coefficient is a number between 0 and 1. If the number was 0, everyone in the country would be equal. If the number was 1, a country would be unequal, with one person having all the income. No country has a score of 0 or 1.
