US Gross Savings vs US Infant Mortality
US Gross Savings and US Infant Mortality correlate at r = +0.71 over 55 years (1970–2024), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.21. Likely spurious (shared time trend).
Verdict: Likely spurious (shared time trend). Both series mostly just trend over time. After removing that trend the correlation collapses to 0.21 — the relationship is probably coincidental, not causal.
