South African Family Poverty Correlation Chart
The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 180,175,248 people shows a weak positive correlation between the proportion of South Africans and poverty level among families in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.228 and weighted average of 8.7%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in South Africans within a typical geography, there is an increase of 0.18% in poverty level among families.
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of South Africans and poverty level among families does not imply a direct cause-and-effect relationship. It remains uncertain whether the presence of South Africans influences an upward or downward trend in the level of poverty level among families within an area, or if South Africans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of poverty level among families due to other factors.
