Income Inequality - Gini Index

• Tampa Bay shows a relatively stable Gini Index between 0.46 and 0.48 over the past decade, indicating moderate income inequality with minimal year-to-year variation. This stability suggests consistent income distribution trends, though disparities remain between higher- and lowerincome households.
• Miami and Houston record some of the highest Gini values among all MSAs, reflecting wider income gaps driven by high-cost living and concentrated wealth sectors.
• In contrast, Minneapolis, Denver, and Portland maintain lower Gini Index scores, suggesting more equitable income distribution and relatively balanced regional economies.

^{The Gini Index measures income inequality within each MSA, with values ranging from 0 (perfect equality) to 1 (perfect inequality). It provides insight into how evenly income is distributed among residents and serves as an important indicator of economic balance and inclusiveness within a region.
