Sample, method and sources
Sample: every crash police reported in Indiana in 2024, in all 92 counties.
Method: we copied each county's 2024 crash and death totals from the state's 2024 County Profiles. We did not change any number. As a check, the 92 county death totals add up to 872, the same as the statewide total. The county crash totals add up to 199,973. That is 62 fewer than the state total of 200,035. Some crash reports may not list a county.
