- (1) Worldwide ranking among countries evaluated.
- (2) Ranking among the 20 Latin American countries (Puerto Rico is not included).
- (3) Because the Gini coefficient used for the ranking corresponds to different years depending of the country, and the underlying household surveys differ in method and in the type of data collected, the distribution data are not strictly comparable across countries. The ranking therefore is only a proxy for reference purposes, and though the source is the same, the sample is smaller than for the HDI
