Black/African American Poverty Correlation Chart
The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 559,625,619 people shows a very strong positive correlation between the proportion of Blacks/African Americans and poverty level in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.819 and weighted average of 17.5%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in Blacks/African Americans within a typical geography, there is an increase of 0.16% in poverty level.
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of Blacks/African Americans and poverty level 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 poverty level within an area, or if Blacks/African Americans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of poverty level due to other factors.
