Three decades of geodetic monitoring have established slow slip events (SSEs) as a common mode of fault slip, sometimes linked with earthquake swarms and in a few cases escalating to major seismic events. However, the connection between SSEs and earthquake hazard has been difficult to quantify and contextualize beyond regional studies. We aggregate a geodetic record of SSEs from subduction zones in the circum-Pacific region. In aggregate, earthquake rates increase up to threefold concurrent with and proximal to SSEs. The relative amplitude of this increase is correlated with the SSE size and, to a lesser extent, their depth and region. The subdued and coincident earthquake response to SSE stress transfer suggests a more limited role of static stress transfer and a very short relaxation timescale for the triggered seismicity. The observed range of behavior does not support a major connection between SSEs and earthquake hazard.
