US Air Passengers Carried vs US Death Rate
US Air Passengers Carried and US Death Rate correlate at r = -0.32 over 54 years (1970–2023), p = 0.017. With the time trend removed, r = -0.60. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.017) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.60). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
