# **The Gini Index**
- The Gini Index helps to understand how **evenly or unevenly income** is distributed across a population.
- A **score of 0** represents **perfect equality** (everyone has the same income), while a **score of 100** indicates **perfect inequality** (one person has all the income, and everyone else has none).
- The chart shows the **Gini Index** rates in the **United Kingdom**.
