Data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) shows how equal regions of Britain are based on property wealth, pensions wealth and physical and financial wealth.

The scale was measured using the Gini coefficient, which goes from 0 to 1. The lowest end of the scale, 0, means everyone has exactly the same wealth, to 1, which means one person has everything, total inequality.

'Financial wealth' is the money in your wallet or bank account.
