South African Poverty Correlation Chart
The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 182,558,592 people shows a very strong positive correlation between the proportion of South Africans and poverty level in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.854 and weighted average of 11.7%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in South Africans within a typical geography, there is an increase of 0.80% in poverty level.
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of South Africans and poverty level 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 within an area, or if South Africans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of poverty level due to other factors.
