In the context of the rapid development of digital inclusive finance in China, the main contradiction in today's society is the contradiction between the growing needs of the people for a better life and imbalanced and insufficient development. Therefore, the issue of differences in the allocation of digital financial resources among regions at different levels of development urgently needs to be addressed. Based on this background, this article takes the Peking University Digital Inclusive Finance Index (2011-2020) as the research object, and constructs methods such as DagumGini coefficient and Thiel index as comparative indicators to study the differences between regions at different levels of development under digital inclusive finance. The research results are used to explore the allocation of digital financial resources among regions at different levels of development. The results of this article indicate that there are significant differences in the development level among different provinces in China, and the degree of difference in development level among different regions has generally shown a decreasing trend year by year from 2011 to 2020.
