What the Data Shows

Windham County, Connecticut recorded 133 total road fatalities across 125 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 14 deaths on county roads, and the annual average works out to approximately 14.8 fatalities per year. Per-capita rates are not reported for every county in the FARS dataset; by raw count, Windham County sits above the national midpoint for raw county death tolls.

Despite a comparatively active crash history (125 recorded crashes), individual cause-code breakdowns are not published for Windham County in the current FARS release, so readers looking for contributing-factor data should use the Connecticut 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 Windham County is increasing, which means annual fatalities have risen across the reporting period and may warrant closer attention from local transportation and enforcement agencies. Residents, insurers, and policy analysts can use this baseline alongside population density, highway mile data, and rural-versus-urban road mix to judge whether Windham County's 133-death total is proportionate to its exposure. All numbers are for research and informational use only.
