the gini coefficient is commonly used as a metric to understand the income/wealth inequality in various countries. it strikes me that this could be applied to other topics that we see as having unequal distributions, such as frequency of having sex for instance.
what are some more topics of interest for people?

The Gini coefficient can be applied whenever the Pareto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle principle is invoked. I utilize it for the analysis of quality control, healthcare costs and outcomes, as well as group productivity assessment.
