Yeah, this really should be deaths per 100,000 residents or 100,000 vehicle miles driven or something. Then we could see where traffic fatalities are above or below average.
Even then it ends up being a map of where roads are vs where they aren't. And people are where the roads are.
Well, I would hope there aren't a lot of traffic deaths in the middle of the woods, but with a map showing rates instead of raw deaths, you could see where the most and least dangerous cities for driving are. This map does not provide that info.
As with many things, Mississippi is the worst state for traffic deaths per capita. It's just more common to notice these in higher population states.
