Now let’s take a look at inequality. There are a number of ways to measure inequality, and California does not do well according to any of them.
In a July 2018 report, the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal think tank, ranked the states on the basis of the ratio of the average income of the top one percent to the average income of the remaining 99 percent. California came in seventh, with New York, Florida and Connecticut ranked highest on inequality.
In a separate analysis of state level inequality, Zippia, a job search website, ranked states using the Gini coefficient based on data collected by the census from 2010 to 2016. (The Gini coefficient is a gauge of economic inequality ranging from 0 to 1.0, with 0 representing perfect equality and 1.0 representing perfect inequality.) Using this measure, California ranked fourth highest in income inequality, behind New York, Connecticut and Louisiana.
