Age-Adjusted Death Rate due to Motor Vehicle Traffic Collisions

Measurement Period: 2020-2022
This indicator shows the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population due to motor vehicle traffic collisions.

Why is this important?

Motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of death among people ages 5 through 34 in the United States. Many more people are injured or disabled in motor vehicle accidents each year. In addition to negative health effects, motor vehicle collisions have significant economic impacts; the costs of medical care and productivity losses resulting from motor vehicle accidents are estimated at around $100 billion per year.
The Healthy People 2030 national health target is to reduce deaths from motor vehicle crashes to 10.1 deaths per 100,000 population.
