US Homicide Rate vs US Oil Consumption
US Homicide Rate and US Oil Consumption correlate at r = -0.44 over 31 years (1990–2023), p = 0.014. With the time trend removed, r = -0.52. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.014) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.52). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
