US Fertility Rate vs US Inflation Rate
US Fertility Rate and US Inflation Rate correlate at r = -0.29 over 64 years (1960–2023), p = 0.021. With the time trend removed, r = -0.65. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.021) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.65). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
