Sri Lankan Poverty Correlation Chart

The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 440,138,450 people shows a mild positive correlation between the proportion of Sri Lankans and poverty level in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.312 and weighted average of 11.7%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in Sri Lankans within a typical geography, there is an increase of 0.16% in poverty level.
Sri Lankan Poverty
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of Sri Lankans and poverty level does not imply a direct cause-and-effect relationship. It remains uncertain whether the presence of Sri Lankans influences an upward or downward trend in the level of poverty level within an area, or if Sri Lankans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of poverty level due to other factors.
