Correlation Matrix

On variables

The correlation matrix permit a clear corresponding view between variables. We can see lots of variables extremely correlated or not or neutral .The last column and last line correspond to the variable to determine (the violent crimes). For this value,we discover a large data set with different connections. the correlation force is light and give a complex model to research.

On line/column 60 we see a value uncorrelated with the value between 50 and 70. The value 60 corresponding to the PctSpeakEnglOnly. and values extremely correlated between 50 and 59 correspond to the immigration information. It appear clearly that immigrants don't talk only English.
Between 61 and 70 , the variables describe the housing status. I don't understand why housing status can be an important information to speak only English. I suppose an important correlation with the immigrants statistics that create this link.

Variables between 79 and 87 correspond to the housing business that is extremely correlated.
