Residence and crash location

182

Deaths of county residents, CDC WONDER, 2018-2024

n=182 · window 2018-2024

Deaths from crashes in this county, FARS, 2018-2024

-17

Crash-location fatalities minus resident deaths, 2018-2024

n=165 · 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

4.2

Share of reported crashes that were fatal: 4.2 per 1,000, 2021-2025

n=123 · window 2021-2025

near broadly near the state rate

95% range: 3.5–5.0
2.6%

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

n=757 · window 2021-2025

near broadly near the state share

95% range: 2.4%–2.8%

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

41.0%

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

n=41 · window 2021-2024

near broadly near the state share

95% range: 31.9%–50.8%
34.0%

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

n=34 · window 2021-2024

near broadly near the state share

95% range: 25.5%–43.7%
36.0%

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

n=36 · window 2021-2024

above somewhat above the state share

95% range: 27.3%–45.8%

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

188.7

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

n=5983 · window 2025

below below the state rate

184.1

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

n=29189 · 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

0.76

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

n=293 · window 2021-2023

below somewhat below the state level

95% range: 0.68–0.85

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