Lorenz Curve


http://anneclaireramser.wordpress.com/page/2/

The Lorenze Curve, like shown above, is used to present the inequality of distribution of some factor such as income. For this image, and any Lorenze Curve for that matter, the solid black line is used to represent what perfect equality would be whereas the curved line underneath, the Lorenze Curve, is showing what the actual distribution is like. From this map you can tell how unequal the relationship between percentage of populatoin and percentage of national income really is.
