Where the Roads Are Riskiest: The Deadliest States Per Capita
Figures reflect fatal crash counts (not total fatalities) per 100,000 residents for 2024. Rates were calculated by dividing each state's total fatal crashes for the year by its U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2024 population estimate, then scaling to a common per 100,000 basis for comparison across states of different size.
