This statistic depicts a ranking of Latin American countries based on the degree of inequality in wealth distribution according to the Gini coefficient as of 2017. The Gini coefficient measures the deviation of the distribution of income (or consumption) among individuals or households in a given country from a perfectly equal distribution. A value of 0 represents absolute equality, whereas 100 would be the highest possible degree of inequality. As of 2017, Brazil was deemed the most unequal country in Latin America, with a Gini coefficient of 51.3, followed by Colombia with 50.8
