What the Data Shows

Noxubee County, Mississippi recorded 33 total road fatalities across 31 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 3.7 fatalities per year. Per-capita rates are not reported for every county in the FARS dataset; raw counts should therefore be compared against population and road-mile denominators from the state page.

Cause-code breakdowns are not individually published for Noxubee County in the current FARS release, so readers looking for contributing-factor data should use the Mississippi 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 Noxubee County is decreasing, which suggests that road-design improvements, enforcement, or emergency-response changes are reducing the death toll. Residents, insurers, and policy analysts can use this baseline alongside population density, highway mile data, and rural-versus-urban road mix to judge whether Noxubee County's 33-death total is proportionate to its exposure. All numbers are for research and informational use only.
