For example, a statistic may indicate that 70% of a country's income is controlled by 20% of that country's residents. Work on income inequality in the USA shows the change in income between 1980 and 2014 for every point on the distribution of people in terms of income percentile that is, we can track the changing distribution of income, from the poorest person to the richest person over that time span.
