Nigerian Poverty Correlation Chart
The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 332,501,950 people shows a slight negative correlation between the proportion of Nigerians and poverty level in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of -0.055 and weighted average of 13.6%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in Nigerians within a typical geography, there is a decrease of 0.067% in poverty level.
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of Nigerians and poverty level 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 poverty level within an area, or if Nigerians simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of poverty level due to other factors.
