Puerto Rican Wage/Income Gap

The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 527,155,694 people shows a substantial negative correlation between the proportion of Puerto Ricans and wage/income gap percentage in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of -0.524 and weighted average of 18.7%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in Puerto Ricans within a typical geography, there is a decrease of 0.14% in wage/income gap percentage.

It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of Puerto Ricans and wage/income gap percentage does not imply a direct cause-and-effect relationship. It remains uncertain whether the presence of Puerto Ricans influences an upward or downward trend in the level of wage/income gap percentage within an area, or if Puerto Ricans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of wage/income gap percentage due to other factors.
