South American Poverty Correlation Chart
The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 493,572,716 people shows a poor negative correlation between the proportion of South Americans and poverty level in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of -0.144 and weighted average of 12.3%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in South Americans within a typical geography, there is a decrease of 0.033% in poverty level.
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of South Americans and poverty level does not imply a direct cause-and-effect relationship. It remains uncertain whether the presence of South Americans influences an upward or downward trend in the level of poverty level within an area, or if South Americans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of poverty level due to other factors.
