| Sumario: | The present study aims to demonstrate the inequality in the income distribution of the municipalities of the state of Minas Gerais based on data from the Demographic Census of the years 1991, 2000 and 2010. The quantitative approach was used as a methodology, descriptive, and as to documentary procedures. The variable used to present data on inequality of income distribution was the Gini coefficient obtained in the Atlas of Human Development. Data were collected for the years 1991, 2000 and 2010 and the analysis of coropléticos maps of the Gini coefficient of the municipalities of the state of Minas Gerais was done through cartographic resources using cartograms constructed by the coroplético method. It was verified that in the year of 1991 there were 18 (2.11%) municipalities with very high concentration of income. In 2000, this number rose to 77 (9.03%) of the 853 municipalities in the state of Minas Gerais. In 2010, this number was reduced to 42 (4.92%). This means that the concentration of income and inequality in the distribution of income increased from the year 1991 to the year 2000, and was reduced from this to the year 2010, indicating that in the ‘inclusive decade’ (2000-2010), the income of these localities distributed more evenly. |
