The Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients for selected countries in 1992, with increasing thresholds. Note how the Lorenz curves and the Gini coefficients converge. At the threshold of DN ≥ 25, i.e. still far below the middle of the spectrum, the Netherlands and United States have the same Gini coefficient, although the considered lit area differs by a factor of 35.
