Answer to Question #141110 in Regional geography for Sue

Question

What is different about U.S. cities distribution of income groups?

Answer 1

The difference is in the fact that the income groups in the largest cities (which we may think have the greatest opportunities for work and higher income) are the most unequal. The inequality decreases in smaller cities. The income inequality (the Gini coefficient) grows proportionally to the number of citizens living in a city.
