US Birth Rate vs US Death Rate
US Birth Rate and US Death Rate correlate at r = +0.35 over 65 years (1960–2024), p = 0.0047. With the time trend removed, r = +0.01. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0047) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.01). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
