Income Inequality Tracker Screensaver
The Income Inequality Tracker screensaver ranks countries by real income inequality using the Gini index on a live bar board, drawn key-less from the World Bank's open data API. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Income Inequality Tracker screensaver works
The saver fetches the latest published Gini index figures for every country from the World Bank's open data API, with no key required.
Countries rank by real inequality level, with each bar sized to scale.
The board eases smoothly if the ranking shifts on refresh.
Choose how many countries appear on the board at once.
A worked example
You'll see real inequality figures ranging widely by region — the World Bank's own published Gini scores, not an estimate or model.
