US Imports vs US Rural Population
US Imports and US Rural Population correlate at r = -0.94 over 55 years (1970–2024), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.62. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.62). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
