Figure 3.4.4 - Pedestrian Fatalities Per Capita

There is limited data on how often people walking are exposed to vehicle traffic. Comparing pedestrian fatalities to total population uses readily available federal data to provide an estimate of community safety. Over the last decade, most cities reviewed have seen an increase in their rate of pedestrian fatalities per capita.
