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.

n=33 · window 2016-2025

below somewhat below the state share

95% range: 0.2%–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.

Crash severity

14.7

Share of reported crashes that were fatal: 14.7 per 1,000, 2016-2025

n=193 · window 2016-2025

Suspected-serious share of the source-defined reported-crash injury universe, 2016-2025

n=779 · window 2016-2025

well above well above 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.

Share of FARS fatal crashes that were night, 2015-2024

n=48 · window 2015-2024

n=41 · window 2015-2024

below somewhat below the state share

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

92.5

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

n=1328 · window 2025

near broadly near the state rate

95% range: 87.6–97.6
92.2

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

n=6618 · window 2021-2025

near near 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

1.36

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

n=1007 · window 2015-2023

well above well above the state level

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

Long-run trajectory

85.7

Annual Crash Index (2006=100), 2025

n=1549 · window 2006-2025

well below possibly well below the state level

95% range: 5.5–6.2

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.
