It remains uncertain whether the presence of Americans influences an upward or downward trend in the level of percentage of population receiving government assistance and/or food stamps within an area, or if Americans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of percentage of population receiving government assistance and/or food stamps due to other factors.
