What the Data Shows
Treasure County, Montana recorded 9 total road fatalities across 5 reported crashes during the 2016-2022 reporting window, according to NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System. The most recent year covered by the data logged 0 deaths on county roads, and the annual average works out to approximately 1.0 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 Treasure County in the current FARS release, so readers looking for contributing-factor data should use the Montana 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 Treasure 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 Treasure County's 9-death total is proportionate to its exposure. All numbers are for research and informational use only.
