Long Island communities: where fatal crashes were recorded, 2010–2024

Location of crashes, not a rating of residents or neighborhoods

We placed geocoded records from NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System into 2020 Census community boundaries. The table covers 2010–2024 and lists 109 communities alphabetically within each county. Each record concerns a fatal crash on a public trafficway with a death within 30 days; it is not a count of all collisions or all crimes.

A death recorded inside a boundary may involve someone who lived elsewhere. A busy highway can account for much of a community's total. These figures cannot determine where a person is safest to live, and should not be used as a neighborhood crime rate.

Four limits that matter

1. Boundaries can overlap. A village or Census place can sit inside a larger town. Do not add these rows together; the same crash can appear in both geographies.
2. Unlocated records are excluded from community assignment. They remain in the county totals. Zero assigned records does not prove that a community had no fatal crashes.
3. The period is historical. These are not current road conditions or a claim about 2026 crime. The extract was retrieved 2026-09-17; 2024 records in it are preliminary.
4. Counts lack exposure. Differences in road traffic, through-travel, geography and coverage prevent a reliable 'danger' ranking from these counts alone.

Reproduce and interpret

The local CSV records include year/case identifiers, crash date, road and casualty counts. Start with a community's fact sheet and records, then consult our boundary and data methodology and the original NHTSA files. Publication row counts and headline keywords are not inputs to this table.
