2014 NFL Income Inequality by Team

Last week I blogged about income inequality for the 2014 NFL season and showed that the NFL is more unequal in terms of income distribution than the US as a whole was in 2010 (closest year to this past season).  So I thought that I would follow up on this by looking at income inequality among the 32 NFL teams in 2014, again using the active roster data.  I am using the Gini coefficient (step-by-step guide to make this calculation) which is a measure of income inequality.

Below are the teams regular season winning percent, points scored and points surrendered, their payroll and relative payroll and lastly the team Gini coefficient for 2014.   San Diego was the least unequal in terms of income inequality and the Baltimore Ravens were the most unequal for 2014.

Not surprisingly, there is no statistically significant relationship between income inequality (Gini coefficient) and regular season winning percent.

Tomorrow, I hope to blog about income inequality by player position for 2014.  If not, I will get to this within the coming days.
