Scotch-Irish Poverty Correlation Chart
The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 548,217,294 people shows a weak positive correlation between the proportion of Scotch-Irish and poverty level in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.291 and weighted average of 12.2%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in Scotch-Irish within a typical geography, there is an increase of 0.23% in poverty level.
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of Scotch-Irish and poverty level does not imply a direct cause-and-effect relationship. It remains uncertain whether the presence of Scotch-Irish influences an upward or downward trend in the level of poverty level within an area, or if Scotch-Irish simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of poverty level due to other factors.
