It provides statistical methods to quantify inequality patterns in spatial data, typically used alongside numpy, scipy, and pandas for data manipulation and matplotlib for visualization. The package is part of the broader PySAL ecosystem for spatial analysis in Python.\n\nThe package is designed for researchers and analysts working with geographic or regional data who need to compute inequality metrics and understand distributional disparities. It integrates with libpysal for spatial data structures and leverages standard scientific Python libraries for computation and display.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive license. It fills a specific role in the PySAL ecosystem for spatial inequality measurement. Install it if you are working with geographic or regional data and need to quantify distributional disparities."},"id":"inequality","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/inequality","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/inequality.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/inequality/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-07-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"inequality","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"inequality: Spatial inequality analysis"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":100658,"position":12977,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.2"}
