Jamaican Poverty

The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 367,709,935 people shows no correlation between the proportion of Jamaicans and poverty level in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.003 and weighted average of 14.4%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in Jamaicans within a typical geography, there is an increase of 0.0022% in poverty level.

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