Sierra Leonean Poverty Correlation Chart
The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 78,030,202 people shows a weak positive correlation between the proportion of Sierra Leoneans and poverty level in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.240 and weighted average of 12.8%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in Sierra Leoneans within a typical geography, there is an increase of 0.78% in poverty level.

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