US Death Rate vs US Population
US Death Rate and US Population correlate at r = -0.39 over 65 years (1960–2024), p = 0.0013. With the time trend removed, r = -0.06. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0013) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.06). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
