How to read this

Correlation ≠ causation. A strong correlation does not mean one metric causes the other. Both may be driven by a shared underlying factor, or the link may be coincidental.
r is the Pearson correlation coefficient (−1 to +1); n is the number of places compared. Larger n means a more reliable estimate.
Click any correlate to explore its drivers and walk the network of relationships.
