Accumulative Line Graph (Lorenz Curve)

Accumulative Line Graph (Lorenz Curve) shows the information’s actual distribution against a line that shows equal distribution. The curve in the graph is called Lorenz Curve.

The graph shown is an Accumulative Line Graph (Lorenz Curve) of The world’s most and least equal societies with regards to income. The blue indicates perfect equilibrium while anything below is less than perfect. Namibia in the green has the least equal society with a small percentage of people holding the wealth.
