Costa Rica's Gini Coefficient

INDEX (0-100): 100 = HIGHER LEVELS OF EQUALITY

The Gini Index is a measure of how equal a country's distribution of income is. It is a score between 0 and 100. World Economics has inverted the source index data so that 0 represents very high inequality levels and 100 represents perfect equality. Perfect equality means a country's total income is shared equally among its residents, whereas perfect inequality means a country's total income is owned by a single individual.

Costa Rica's Gini Coefficient Index is 51.3 and was most recently measured in 2021.
