Gradovi gdje su dohodci najjednostavniji

Kako može izgledati Amerika s jednakostom dohotka? Možda malo kao Romeoville, Illinois, ili Spring Hill, Tennessee. Kada je riječ o raspodjeli dohotka, ova mjesta su među najjednostavnijima u zemlji, prema istraživanju Investmentmatomea.

Naravno, dohodovna nejednakost još uvijek postoji među kućanstvima u tim zajednicama, ali razlika između bogatih i siromašnih je mnogo manja nego drugdje u SAD-u, gdje se jaz proširio.

Prosječno kućanstvo u prvih 5% imalo je u 2007. prosječno 26 puta više prihoda od prosječnog kućanstva u dnu 20%, a do 2013. ta se razlika povećala na gotovo 30 puta, prema podacima američke Zajednice američkog Popisa stanovništva Pregled.

Mjerenje nejednakosti

Ekonomska nejednakost može se mjeriti na mnoge načine, poput raspodjele bogatstva ili potrošnje. Za ovu studiju, odlučili smo se usredotočiti na raspodjelu dohotka kućanstva u više od 1500 gradova SAD-a. Kako bismo utvrdili gdje postoji najveći paritet prihoda i većina nejednakosti, koristili smo indeks Gini, koji je također poznat kao Ginijev koeficijent. Taj indeks mjeri razmjer do kojeg se distribucija dohotka razlikuje od savršene jednakosti.

Ono što znače brojevi

Gini indeks nulte, što ukazuje na savršenu jednakost, značilo bi da svaki kućanstvo u SAD-u ima isti dohodak. Na suprotnom kraju spektra, indeks od 100 bi značio da je jedno kućanstvo dobilo cjelokupni dohodak zemlje. Gini indeks za SAD iznosi 48 godina prije redistributivnih učinaka poreza i transfera, poput socijalne sigurnosti i socijalne skrbi. Američki gradovi obuhvaćaju široki raspon indeksa - od 27 do 63.

Međutim, ova relativna mjera distribucije dohotka ne govori cijelu priču. Sam po sebi, indeks Gini može ukazati na ravnopravnost dohotka grada, ali ne i ekonomski zdravlje zajednice. Da biste dobili osjećaje te slike, indeks se može povezati s medijskim podacima o prihodima grada.

Ispod su američki gradovi koji su najviše i najmanje jednaki prihodima. Uključili smo podatke o srednjem dohotku za 20% i 20% kućanstava u svakom gradu kako bi predstavili procjenu apsolutne razine bogatstva u svakom području.

Po brojevima

59: Gini indeks za Harrison, New York, koji je među najvišima u SAD-u i ukazuje na to da su ekonomske razlike između bogatih i siromašnih stanovnika neke od najvećih.

$936,926: Razlika u Newport Beachu, Kalifornija, između prosječnog dohotka za dno 20% kućanstava i top 5%.

$108,032: Razlika, jedna od najmanjih u naciji, u Romeoville, Illinois, između prosječnog dohotka za dno 20% kućanstava i najviše 20%.

31 puta: Razlika u New Orleansu, Louisiani, između prosječnog dohotka od prvih 20% i donjih 20% kućanstava.

Metodologija

Da bismo pronašli mjesta na kojima su nacionalni dohodci najveći i najmanje jednaki, rangirali smo gradove koji koriste Gini indeks iz američkog popisa stanovništva američkog popisa stanovništva iz 2013. godine.

Da bismo pronašli gradove u kojima je povećana jednakost dohotka, pogledali smo apsolutnu promjenu indeksa Gini od 2007. do 2013. godine.
