Crash-location fatalities minus resident deaths, 2018-2024

n=302 · 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

3.5

Share of reported crashes that were fatal: 3.5 per 1,000, 2021-2025

n=210 · window 2021-2025

below somewhat below the state rate

95% range: 3.0–4.0
1.8%

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

n=1123 · window 2021-2025

below somewhat below the state share

95% range: 1.7%–2.0%

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

48.8%

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

n=83 · window 2021-2024

above somewhat above the state share

95% range: 41.4%–56.3%
29.4%

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

n=50 · window 2021-2024

near broadly near the state share

95% range: 23.1%–36.7%
36.5%

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

n=62 · window 2021-2024

above somewhat above the state share

95% range: 29.6%–43.9%

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

265.2

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

n=11352 · window 2025

above above the state rate

283.9

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

n=60767 · 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

0.91

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

n=749 · window 2021-2023

near broadly near the state level

95% range: 0.85–0.97

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