Additional Background

  • N = Not Available.

    X = Not Applicable.

    Z = Zero or rounds to zero.

    The Gini Coefficient (or Index) measures income inequality for households.  The coefficient ranges from 0 (perfect equality) to 1 (perfect inequality).  The coefficient is based on the Lorenz curve and perfectly equal income distribution. 

    Zip codes reported reflect Zip Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTA), which are different from ZIP Codes used by the U.S. Postal Service. Some sources for this database report ZIP Code rather than ZCTA; values for these variables are reported only when ZIP Code and ZCTA values are the same.  For additional information on ZCTAs, see here
