Black/African American Wage/Income Gap Correlation Chart
The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 563,586,273 people shows a strong negative correlation between the proportion of Blacks/African Americans and wage/income gap percentage in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of -0.782 and weighted average of 21.7%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in Blacks/African Americans within a typical geography, there is a decrease of 0.15% in wage/income gap percentage.
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of Blacks/African Americans and wage/income gap percentage does not imply a direct cause-and-effect relationship. It remains uncertain whether the presence of Blacks/African Americans influences an upward or downward trend in the level of wage/income gap percentage within an area, or if Blacks/African Americans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of wage/income gap percentage due to other factors.
