US Homicide Rate vs US Milk Consumption per Person
US Homicide Rate and US Milk Consumption per Person correlate at r = +0.60 over 31 years (1990–2023), p = 3.9e-4. With the time trend removed, r = +0.06. Likely spurious (shared time trend).
Verdict: Likely spurious (shared time trend). Both series mostly just trend over time. After removing that trend the correlation collapses to 0.06 — the relationship is probably coincidental, not causal.
