Crash severity

4.0

Share of reported crashes that were fatal: 4.0 per 1,000, 2021-2025

n=43 · window 2021-2025

near broadly near the state rate

95% range: 2.9–5.4
2.6%

Suspected-serious share of the source-defined reported-crash injury universe, 2021-2025

n=284 · window 2021-2025

above somewhat above the state share

95% range: 2.4%–3.0%

Keep in view: The share of reported crashes that were fatal does not measure a county's danger, a traveler's risk, or the cause of any crash.

Fatal-crash timing

34.3%

Share of FARS fatal crashes that were night, 2021-2024

n=12 · window 2021-2024

below somewhat below the state share

95% range: 20.8%–50.8%
28.6%

Share of FARS fatal crashes that were weekend, 2021-2024

n=10 · window 2021-2024

near broadly near the state share

95% range: 16.3%–45.1%
34.3%

Share of FARS fatal crashes that were impaired involved, 2021-2024

n=12 · window 2021-2024

near broadly near the state share

95% range: 20.8%–50.8%

Keep in view: These time and involvement shares describe fatal crashes in FARS and do not measure an individual's risk or establish why a crash occurred.

Population context

301.0

Annual reported crashes per 10,000 residents (2024 ACS population), 2025

n=2245 · window 2025

well above well above the state rate

287.4

Five-year annualized reported crashes per 10,000 residents (2024 ACS population), 2021-2025

n=10717 · window 2021-2025

well above well above the state rate

Keep in view: Crashes per resident use population as context, not miles traveled, and do not measure an individual resident's driving risk.

Truck-crash context

1.62

Truck-crash share relative to overall reported-crash share, 2021-2023

n=226 · window 2021-2023

well above well above the state level

Keep in view: This location quotient compares shares of reported crashes and does not measure truck-driver fault, carrier safety, or roadway danger.
