Abstract

The household income distribution (i e. how many households had which income) gives important information for social research. We investigate the concentration and distribution of the income earned in 1994 by households in 19 Turkish province centers. The empirical basis is a recent publication of DİE (Devlet İstatistik Enstitüsü). An analysis of the rank correlation between average income and income concentration reveals interesting features of Turkey.
