How we calculated it
We query series gini_index of dataset cepal-social-anual (CEPALSTAT) for Honduras from 2001 to 2024 in VerDat's normalised layer and check that no year in the series matches or falls below the 2024 value. We require at least 15 years of series and a gap of at least 10 years. The chart reproduces the query; the values are re-verified automatically every day.
17 rows match the query; 17 results remain in the summary.
What it means and what it does not
The data comes from the ECLAC harmonised series and may differ from official figures produced under national methodologies. This low describes Honduras's position relative to its own past rather than the underlying causes. In addition, future revisions to data from previous years could alter the date of the record.
Every indicator is a rate, index or ratio — compare and rank, never sum. Survey years differ by country; missing years are gaps, not zeros.
