24/7 Wall St. Insights

In terms of U.S. death rates, driving collisions are a leading cause of death for those aged 1-54. As populations across the country grow, so too do the number of cars and drivers on the road. In 1960, more than 20% of the U.S. population didn’t even own a vehicle. As of 2017, 91% of American households have at least one car. As car ownership increases, our roads become more congested.

Small to mid-sized SUVs tend to be the safest vehicles, with fewer fatalities associated with them. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives Kia, Hyundai, and Genesis the most safety awards. Alternatively, the car models most often involved in fatal crashes are trucks: Ford F-series and Chevrolet Silverado.

To identify the U.S. cities where the most people die in car crashes, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed roadway fatality data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System. A total of 5,371 cities were ranked by the number of fatalities. Only the 51 cities with over 45 fatalities from car crashes in 2021 are listed here. Population data came from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey and are five-year estimates for 2022. All other data is from FARS.

Though the cities with most fatalities tend to have larger populations, data on vehicle-miles traveled for each city was not available and therefore relative comparisons are hard to achieve. Still, seven of the cities on the list are in Texas, six are in California, five are in Florida, and four are in Arizona. While the first three are the most populous states (Texas, California, and Arizona), they are also some of the nation’s largest states by area, often with sprawling, less densely populated cities.

In general, the vast majority of the cities on the list are in the South, followed by the West. Only one city in the Northeast makes the list — New York City, which ranks fourth with 252 fatalities in 243 car accidents.

Why We Are Mentioning This

Between 2018 and 2022, deadly car accidents in the U.S. increased by more than 16%. This is due to several factors, including drunk driving, lack of seatbelt use, and speeding. Knowing which cities see the highest number of auto fatalities can help increase your awareness and keep you safe on the road. Having this information is especially important if you live in one of these cities. When traveling through the locations on this list, drivers should remain extra vigilant.
