History
Rank history in Countries with the highest income inequality
History appears once this ranking has at least two published snapshots.
Head to head
Colombia vs Vietnam, explained
Colombia vs Vietnam, head to head across 91 shared rankings. Colombia ranks higher in 26, Vietnam ranks higher in 65. On that count Vietnam comes out ahead overall, though each ranking measures something different, so the detail below matters more than the tally.
Ranking by ranking: in Countries with the highest income inequality, Colombia is #1 with 0.54 index (0-1) and Vietnam is #42 with 0.36 index (0-1) (Colombia ahead by 41); in Countries producing the most coffee, Colombia is #3 with 839.85 thousand tonnes and Vietnam is #2 with 2,015.29 thousand tonnes (Vietnam ahead by 1); in Countries with the highest coffee yields, Colombia is #20 with 1 tonnes per hectare and Vietnam is #3 with 2.97 tonnes per hectare (Vietnam ahead by 17); in Countries with the highest CO₂ emissions from cement, Colombia is #34 with 4.66 million tonnes and Vietnam is #3 with 44.49 million tonnes (Vietnam ahead by 31); in Countries where beer makes up the most of alcohol consumption, Colombia is #16 with 73.83 % and Vietnam is #3 with 92.43 % (Vietnam ahead by 13); in Countries with the largest share of global CO2 from cement, Colombia is #34 with 0.32 % of global total and Vietnam is #3 with 3.02 % of global total (Vietnam ahead by 31).
Within each ranking both entries are measured by the same metric from the same source at the same time, which makes every row a like-for-like comparison. Across rankings the metrics differ, so a lead in one does not cancel out a deficit in another. The rank history chart tracks both entries through every published snapshot of the first shared ranking.
Dates shown next to each ranking are the capture dates of the snapshots used, so you always know how current a comparison is. Each entry also has a profile page listing every ranking it appears in, and each ranking has a quiz if you want to test whether you could have named the top 10.
Top10Earth never estimates or edits a value: each number is fetched from its source, hashed, stored and ranked by software, then checked by a quality gate before it is published. If a refresh fails the gate, the previous snapshot stays live and the problem is reviewed by a person.
