I think you need to talk to someone who uses your sort of geographic data to find out what an appropriate metric for comparing your variables is. Only then will you know what might be a suitable way forward.

Dear Michael,
Thanks for your answer.
So, I'm not an expert in R and statistics, how can I create this interval of confidence of groups?
Thanks

    Dear Giuseppe

    If I understand you correctly you have a very large sample size so
    it is
    not surprising that you get very small p-values. Eevn a scientifically
    uninteresting difference can become statistically significant with
    large
    samples. You probably need to define a metric for meaningful
    differences
    between groups and calculate a confidence interval for it.
