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

7.3

Share of reported crashes that were fatal: 7.3 per 1,000, 2021-2025

n=70 · window 2021-2025

well above well above the state rate

2.8%

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

n=267 · window 2021-2025

above somewhat above the state share

95% range: 2.5%–3.1%

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

18.8%

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

n=12 · window 2021-2024

well below well below the state share

21.9%

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

n=14 · window 2021-2024

well below possibly well below the state share

95% range: 13.5%–33.4%
31.2%

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

n=20 · window 2021-2024

near broadly near the state share

95% range: 21.2%–43.4%

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

187.2

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

n=2182 · window 2025

below below the state rate

164.0

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

n=9560 · window 2021-2025

well below possibly well below the state rate

95% range: 160.7–167.3

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

1.81

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

n=215 · window 2021-2023

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.
