Road Safety Lookup by Route

Select a state to view its road fatality rate and compare it against the U.S. rate (12.2 per 100K residents in 2023). All data from NHTSA FARS.

About this tool

This tool queries PlainRoadSafety's database of 51 U.S. states and 3,137 counties, built from NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data joined with U.S. Census Bureau population estimates and FHWA Vehicle Miles Traveled data. The U.S. fatality rate is 12.2 per 100K residents (2023).

Selecting a state reloads the page with your choice in the URL (no account, no tracking beyond standard analytics), the comparison itself is a direct database lookup, not a client-side estimate.
