Somali Poverty Correlation Chart
The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 99,289,063 people shows a strong positive correlation between the proportion of Somalis and poverty level in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.782 and weighted average of 15.4%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in Somalis within a typical geography, there is an increase of 0.89% in poverty level.
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of Somalis and poverty level does not imply a direct cause-and-effect relationship. It remains uncertain whether the presence of Somalis influences an upward or downward trend in the level of poverty level within an area, or if Somalis simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of poverty level due to other factors.
