US Inflation Rate vs US Population
US Inflation Rate and US Population correlate at r = -0.30 over 65 years (1960–2024), p = 0.017. With the time trend removed, r = -0.45. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.017) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.45). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
