What the Data Shows

Camp County, Texas recorded 26 total road fatalities across 23 reported crashes during the 2016-2023 reporting window, according to NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System. The most recent year covered by the data logged 2 deaths on county roads, and the annual average works out to approximately 2.9 fatalities per year. Adjusted for population, the fatality rate is 22.3 per 100,000 residents, which leaves it more dangerous than most U.S. counties by that per-capita measure among the 3,137 U.S. counties in this dataset.

Cause-code breakdowns are not individually published for Camp County in the current FARS release, so readers looking for contributing-factor data should use the Texas state page, which aggregates county-level case files into statewide totals. Either way, the underlying records are drawn from a census of fatal crashes, not a statistical sample, so the counts are actual deaths rather than estimates.

The directional trend for Camp County is stable, meaning annual counts have stayed within a narrow band relative to the average. Residents, insurers, and policy analysts can use this baseline alongside population density, highway mile data, and rural-versus-urban road mix to judge whether Camp County's 26-death total is proportionate to its exposure. All numbers are for research and informational use only.
