Nonfatal Pedestrian-Related Injury Rate

Select a County

Measurement Period: 2019

This indicator shows the age-adjusted number of emergency department visits and hospitalizations for nonfatal injuries to pedestrians per 100,000 people.

Why is this important?

In 2017, 5,977 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes and approximately 137,000 pedestrians were treated in emergency departments for nonfatal crash-related injuries. This equates to a pedestrian injury every 4 minutes. Pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely to be killed in a car crash than passenger vehicle occupants. Almost half of all crashes that resulted in pedestrian death involved alcohol for the driver and/or pedestrian. Higher vehicle speeds increase this likelihood. Adults aged 65 and older and children under the age of 15 are at higher risk for injury.
