  • Abstract:
    This fact sheet reports data on traffic fatalities by race and ethnicity, which might help develop countermeasures for those at risk. The term “race-ethnicity” is used to refer to the combined classification of race and ethnicity data. Of the 43,230 traffic fatalities in 2021, White people accounted for 50 percent while Black or African American people accounted for 17 percent and Hispanic or Latino people accounted for 16 percent. In 2021 the U.S. population was 59 percent for White people, 19 percent for Hispanic or Latino people, and 13 percent for Black or African American people. In 2021 American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN) people had the highest traffic fatality rate at 28.51 per 100,000 population, followed by Black or African American (17.53) and Hispanic or Latino people (11.32). From 2017 to 2021 the traffic fatality rate per 100,000 population increased for Hispanic or Latino and Black or African American people, and decreased for AIAN, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (NHPI), and White people. White people accounted for 60 percent of motorcyclist fatalities in traffic crashes in 2021 as compared to Hispanic or Latino (13%) and Black or African American (12%) people. White people accounted for 40 percent of pedestrian fatalities in traffic crashes in 2021 as compared to Black or African American (21%) and Hispanic or Latino (19%) people.
