Nigerian Wage/Income Gap Correlation Chart
The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 332,662,722 people shows a poor positive correlation between the proportion of Nigerians and wage/income gap percentage in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.107 and weighted average of 23.0%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in Nigerians within a typical geography, there is an increase of 0.28% in wage/income gap percentage.
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of Nigerians and wage/income gap percentage does not imply a direct cause-and-effect relationship. It remains uncertain whether the presence of Nigerians influences an upward or downward trend in the level of wage/income gap percentage within an area, or if Nigerians simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of wage/income gap percentage due to other factors.
