I expect them to be highly correlated not only in social networks but also in other types of networks. This is because ego networks have a single focal node that is connected to every other node, creating many potential paths of length 2. Any edge that connects two non-focal node therefore increases density (trivially) but also closes a path of length 2 into a triangle (thus increasing transitivity as well).
