US Rural Population vs US Urban Population
US Rural Population and US Urban Population correlate at r = -1.00 over 66 years (1960–2025), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -1.00. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -1.00). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
