Taking a break.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

In all the previous articles about this data dump I have drawn from the tables, which had been extracted and sent to me. I went to look at the full report<\/a> and found just a bit more info of interest. Then I promise I’m through with this discussion.<\/p>\n

The first thing is location. Where in the state are bikers most at risk? A table on annual motorcycle fatalities from 2014 through 2018 shows a lot of interesting numbers. Adams County is always one of the high ones. Over that five-year span the count of fatalities has been 7, 7, 13, 13, 10. Alamosa County, on the other hand is usually very safe but 2015 was a terrible year: 0, 7, 0, 0, 0. What the heck happened in 2015?<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, the metro area counties–which have the greatest population–mostly have the highest fatality rates, although for some reason Douglas County usually trends a bit lower than the others.
\nArapahoe County–3, 0, 11, 6, 9
\nDenver City\/County–7, 14, 14, 13, 7
\nDouglas County–3, 5, 10, 5, 3
\nJefferson County–11, 14, 15, 9, 12<\/p>\n

Boulder County is also surprisingly low, considering how many people there are: 5, 5, 4, 5, 3.<\/p>\n

El Paso, Gunnison, Larimer, Mesa, Pueblo, and Weld Counties are also higher, in conformity with their populations.<\/p>\n

Of all Colorado counties, Baca, Bent, Cheyenne, Costilla, Crowley, Dolores, Hinsdale, Kiowa, Kit Carson, Lincoln, Otero, Phillips, and Sedgewick Counties report zero motorcycle fatalities in this five-year span. That’s pretty impressive.<\/p>\n

By age, the most fatalities occur among those who are 20-29 or 50-59. The five year totals for each age group are under 20–14; 20-29–125; 30-39–86; 40-49–87; 50-59–119; 60-69–74; over 70–25.<\/p>\n

OK, that’s enough. I just thought that all these numbers in this whole series of posts<\/a> were interesting and could hopefully be helpful to people in understanding what the greatest risks are. I hope I haven’t bored you too much.<\/p>\n
