Analysis
Estonia recorded 26,254 for use of interpolation and extrapolation on original gini coefficient data in 2017. That is the highest value across all 15 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 16.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, use of interpolation and extrapolation on original gini coefficient data in Estonia peaked at 26,254 in 2017 and was at its lowest, 1,578, in 1820.
Estonia ranks 38th of 160 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
