Lorenz Curve: Greece 1951-2001

http://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/s.alvanides/grpopchange/

The Lorenz Curve is a type of geovisualization that typically shows how data would be graphed if income were distributed equally, and is known as a cumulative distribution function. This particular Lorenz Curve shows the population disparities for different areas in Greece and different nationalities. Instead of showing the typical percent of income vs. percent of family, this curve graphs the percent of the population and percent of the land area, per year, through the use of a GIS- and shows that the farther the curve is from the diagonal, the more concentrated the population is in this particular region
