The most recent year covered by the data logged 3 deaths on county roads, and the annual average works out to approximately 0.3 fatalities per year. Per-capita rates are not reported for every county in the FARS dataset; by raw count, Copper River Ca County sits close to the national middle for raw county death tolls.
With a small recorded crash count (2), FARS does not publish an individual cause-code breakdown for Copper River Ca County, so readers looking for contributing-factor data should use the Alaska 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 Copper River Ca 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 Copper River Ca County's 3-death total is proportionate to its exposure. All numbers are for research and informational use only.
