-161

Crash-location fatalities minus resident deaths, 2018-2024

n=790 · window 2018-2024

location minus resident A signed difference between the two source counts.

Keep in view: This difference is not a count of people traveling into or out of the county and does not identify where county residents crashed.

Crash severity

4.5

Share of reported crashes that were fatal: 4.5 per 1,000, 2021-2025

n=531 · window 2021-2025

near broadly near the state rate

95% range: 4.1–4.9
2.3%

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

n=2744 · window 2021-2025

near near the state share

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

52.1%

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

n=227 · window 2021-2024

well above possibly well above the state share

95% range: 47.4%–56.7%
31.4%

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

n=137 · window 2021-2024

near broadly near the state share

95% range: 27.2%–35.9%
28.0%

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

n=122 · window 2021-2024

below somewhat below the state share

95% range: 24.0%–32.4%

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

187.7

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

n=25024 · window 2025

below below the state rate

176.8

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

n=117834 · window 2021-2025

below below 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

1.09

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

n=1624 · window 2021-2023

near broadly near the state level

95% range: 1.04–1.14

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