US Death Rate vs US Infant Mortality
US Death Rate and US Infant Mortality correlate at r = +0.57 over 65 years (1960–2024), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.59. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.59). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
