Beyond the Crash Count: America's Deadliest States
Figures reflect total traffic fatalities (not fatal crash counts) per 100,000 residents for 2024. Rates were calculated by dividing each state's total fatalities 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 sizes.
