Caveats
- A death counts in FARS if it occurs within 30 days of a crash on a public road.
- The county recorded is where the crash occurred, not where the person who died lived.
- FARS is a census of fatal motor vehicle crashes compiled from state crash and death records, not a sample.
- The newest year available may be an early release later revised as a final annual file.
Measures
- Traffic deaths (count): Persons killed in motor vehicle crashes, from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System's ACCIDENT file.
