n=14 · window 2016-2025

well below possibly well below the state share

95% range: 0.1%–0.4%

Keep in view: These reported-crash flags can overlap and do not measure how often individual drivers engage in a behavior or establish why a crash happened.

Share of reported crashes that were fatal: 14.0 per 1,000, 2016-2025

n=94 · window 2016-2025

n=22 · window 2015-2024

below somewhat below the state share

95% range: 15.2%–31.4%

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

73.3

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

n=664 · window 2025

below somewhat below the state rate

95% range: 67.8–79.1
71.2

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

n=3222 · 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

1.16

Truck-crash share relative to overall reported-crash share, 2015-2023

n=446 · window 2015-2023

above somewhat above the state level

n=661 · window 2006-2025

near broadly near the state level

95% range: 8.3–9.3

Keep in view: An indexed trajectory compares reported-crash counts with a county's own 2006 base and does not measure safety, danger, or individual risk.
