US Electricity Use per Capita vs US Urban Population
US Electricity Use per Capita and US Urban Population correlate at r = +0.65 over 35 years (1990–2024), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.88. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.88). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
