Income inequality (Gini index)

▼ Lower is better Improving (small)
Compared against How peers are chosen →

Inequality fell about 10% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 0.42 to 0.38 - more than the combined survey margin (±0.02). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. None of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.

Improving beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 2 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: inequality fell about 1% from 2014 to 2024 (0.39 to 0.38).
