Puerto Rican Family Poverty Correlation Chart

The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 525,427,340 people shows a strong positive correlation between the proportion of Puerto Ricans and poverty level among families in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.713 and weighted average of 20.3%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in Puerto Ricans within a typical geography, there is an increase of 0.36% in poverty level among families.
Puerto Rican Family Poverty
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of Puerto Ricans and poverty level among families 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 poverty level among families within an area, or if Puerto Ricans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of poverty level among families due to other factors.
