Crash severity

4.0

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

n=68 · window 2021-2025

near broadly near the state rate

95% range: 3.1–5.0
1.9%

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

n=327 · window 2021-2025

below somewhat below the state share

95% range: 1.7%–2.1%

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

32.8%

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

n=20 · window 2021-2024

below somewhat below the state share

95% range: 22.3%–45.3%
29.5%

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

n=18 · window 2021-2024

near broadly near the state share

95% range: 19.6%–41.9%
24.6%

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

n=15 · window 2021-2024

below somewhat below the state share

95% range: 15.5%–36.7%

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

282.3

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

n=3531 · window 2025

well above possibly well above the state rate

95% range: 273.0–291.7
274.0

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

n=17136 · window 2021-2025

above somewhat above the state rate

95% range: 269.9–278.1

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

1.06

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

n=243 · window 2021-2023

near broadly near the state level

95% range: 0.94–1.21

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