Rank is derived by Quadranac: 1 = highest value; ties share a rank. The ranked value is itself derived; see the source table for the method. Values are as published in the source table.
Note: Covers accidents in urban and suburban areas only: accidents on federal highways are excluded, and deaths count only people who died at the scene, so these figures are well below total road deaths.
