Help for County Scores


This page displays all 11 deficits for a single county or city.

 The following terms are used:

K-A Injury – This is someone who is either killed or seriously injured in a traffic crash. This data is derived from police accident reports.

Overall Rank - This is the combined ranking based on rank by number and rank by percent. By ranking on both these, the effect of county population on the deficit scores is moderated in the overall ranking.

# of K – A Injuries – This is the actual number of individuals either killed or seriously injured over the last five years for which we have data.

Rank by # - This is the county ranking based on number. The county with the most injuries is ranked number 1. Where two or more counties have the same number, the rank for those counties is averaged.

% of All K – A Injuries – This is the percent of all K-A injuries that the given deficit accounts for. For example, in a given county, Alcohol related crashes might account for 35% of all K-A injuries.

Rank by % - This is the county ranking based on percentage of K-A injuries accounted for by the given deficit.
