American Wage/Income Gap Correlation Chart

The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 577,977,110 people shows a weak positive correlation between the proportion of Americans and wage/income gap percentage in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.262 and weighted average of 27.8%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in Americans within a typical geography, there is an increase of 0.12% in wage/income gap percentage.
American Wage/Income Gap
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of Americans and wage/income gap percentage does not imply a direct cause-and-effect relationship. It remains uncertain whether the presence of Americans influences an upward or downward trend in the level of wage/income gap percentage within an area, or if Americans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of wage/income gap percentage due to other factors.
