THIS REPORT is a stwdy of mortulity from motoY vehicle accidents,

showing trends fm 1950-67 and differences by age, color, sex, geographic characteristics, mileage driven, and mam”tal statws. The numbar of deaths from motor vehicle accidents rose almost every yeaY

from 1950 to 1967. The motor vehicle death ?mte, however, did not m-se

steadily-it reached its lowest point in 1961 and its highest in 1966.

Males tid higher age-adjwsted motor vehicle death mtes than females,

while persons othw than white had higher rates thgn white persons.

Di#erences between the sexes, however, consistently exceeded those

between the color groups. In 1950, males had rates as high as 3.4 times

those for females.

In 1967, 54.4 percent of all motor vehicle @tulities occurred to persons

tier 35 YGWS of age. The age group with the highest mo~r vehicle

death rate was 15-24 years. This age group and those 25-34 yeaYs of

age showed the largest indrease in motor vehicle death rates from

1950 to 1967. Motor vehicle death mtes fov males and females differed

most in the two age groups.

Southern and Mountain States had the highest age-adjwsted motor vehicle death rates and the highest mileage daath rates while Northeastern

States had the lowest. The standard metropolitan statistical areas with

the highest fatal motor vehicle accident $wtes were in the West and

South, the lowest in the Northeast. Nonmetropolitan counties had higher

motor vehicle death rates than metropolitan counties. Mileuge death

mtes in the 1960ts were lower than in 1950. Among the marital status

groups, married persons had the lowest death vate from motor vehicle

accidents, while divorced persons had the highest.

MOTOR VEHICLEACCIDENT DEATHS

IN THE UNITED STATES, 1950-67

Barbara Fenvessy Reese, Division of Vital Statistics

INTRODUCTION

There were 737,395 people in the United States

who died in motor vehicle accidents from 1950 to

1967, This number includes drivers, passengers,

and pedestrians killed in accidents involving a motor vehicle and persons killed in accidents while

entering or leaving a motor vehicle.

In this period, the number of motor vehicle accident deaths rose almost every year from 34,763

in 1950 to 53,041 in 1966. However, the motor vehicle death rate, the number of deaths due to motor

vehicle accidents per 100,000 persons, did not rise

steadily during this time period. This rate ranged

from 20.8 to 27.1–in 1950 it was 23.1, and in 1967

it was 26,7.

Age-adjusted rates, which are rates adjusted

to account for changing age distributions in the population from year to year; are useful when evaluating time trends in death rates, such as trends in

the motor vehicle accident death rate (see appendix

for explanation of adjustment procedure), The ageadjusted motor vehicle accident rate from 1950 to

1967 varied between 22.1 and 28.3 deaths per

100,000 persons. This measure reached its lowest

point in 1961 and its highest in 1966. Between 1950

and 1961, it varied almost cyclically within a range

of 3.1 deaths per 100,000 population, but from 1961

to 1966 there was a steady increase in the age-adjusted death rate and then a slight decline in 1967.

From 1950 to 1967 the unadjusted motor vehicle accident death rate followed essentially the

same pattern as the age-adjusted rate (fig. 1). The

estimated 1968 unadjusted motor vehicle death

rate was 27.0 deaths per 100,000 population. This

figure is slightly above the 1967 figure (26.7) but

still not as high as the 1966 figure (27.1). The 1967

level, therefore, does not probably signal a declining motor vehicle death rate; a plateau seems more

likely to have been reached.

Since detailed data for 1968 are not yet available, this report confines its analysis of mortalit y

from motor vehicle accidents to the period 1950-67

by sex, color, age, geographic division,. State,

mileage driven, metropolitan- nonmetropolitan

county status, standard metropolitan statistical

areas, and marital status. Detailed data on which

this report is based are provided in tables 1

through 9.
I

SEX AND COLOR

Table A shows the age-adjusted motor vehicle

death rates by sex and by coior for 1950 and for

1967, the end points of the time span under study.

“White” and “all other” are the designations used

in this report for the two color groups. “White”

includes in addition to persons reported as white

persons reported to be Mexican or Puerto Rican,

“All other” consists of persons reported as Negro,

American Indian, Chinese, and Japanese; persons

of numerically small racial groups; and persons

of mixed racial stock.

Age-adjusted rates differed more between

males and females than they did between white and

all other persons. Males had rates as high as 3.4

times those for females in 1950. Rates for the all

other color groups were only 1.1 times as high as

those for white persons both in 1950 and 1957.

Males of both color groups had the highest age-adjusted motor vehicle accident death rates, females

the lowest.

Both sex- specific and both color-specific

age-adjusted rates increased from 1950 to 1967.

Rates for females showed the largest relative increase. Rates for males increased 15.1 percent,

less than half as much as the 35.5-percent increase

for females. A possible explanation for this finding

is that there were a greater proportion of women

driving in 1967 than in 1950. As the ratio of drivers

to nondrivers inasexgroup increases, sodoes the

proportion of persons in that sexgroup who are

subjected totheriskofamotor vehicle fatality, On

the other hand, white andallotherpersons showed

about the same level bf increase (18.6 and 21.0 percent, respectively).

Examining the sexes by color group, one sees

that all other males had higher age-adjusted rates

than white males (table B). In 1967 rates for all

other males were 1.2 times those for white males.

Rates for all other and white females differed less,

with the all other females having higher age-adjusted rates. Here, too, all four age-adjusted

color-sex-specific rates increased over time, the

largest increase being in the rates of the white and

the all other female groups (35.8 percent and 31.5

percent, respectively).

Figures 2 and 3 trace over the entire time

span of 1950 to 1967 the age-adjusted motor vehicle death rates for the two $ex-specific groups,

the two color-specific groups, and the four colorsex-specific groups. As shown in table A for 1950

and 1967 age-adjusted motor vehicle accident

males than between white and all other persons,

Figure 2 shows this to be true for the entire time

span. Also, males had higher age-adjusted rates

than females, and all other persons had higher

rates than white persons. Figure 2 shows that both

sex and both color groups have almost perfectly

corresponding high and low points during the 18-

year period. All of the four groups varied almost

cyclically between 1950 and 1961 and rose from

1961 until 1966, reaching their highest points in

1966. In 1967 all four showed slight declines from

the 1966 level.

Over time, all other males had consistently

higher age-adjusted rates than white males; however, the same was not true for females (fig. 3).

The motor vehicle accident death rates for white

and all other females were very close throughout

the time period under study, with white females

having the lower rate in 11 of the 18 years.

Figures 2 and 3 also show the relative changes

in the age-adjusted motor vehicle accident death

rates from 1.950 to 1967 for the two sex, two color,

and “four color-sex groups. They display the fact

that age-adjusted ~ates for women had higher relative increases than those for men.

AGE

Over half (54.4 percent) of the motor vehicle

accident deaths in 1967 occurred among persons

under 35 years of age, This statistic points up the

importance of reviewing age-specific motor vehicle death rates. Table C shows these rates for

11 age groups for 1950 and for 1967. In 1950 the

three highest rates were for the age groups of

persons aged 65 years and over. The next highest

rate of 34.4 deaths per 100,OOOpopulation was

for persons aged 15-24 years. In 1967, though the

same four age categories showed the highest death

rates, the maximum rate of 48.5 deaths per 100,000

persons was for the group 15-24 years old. This

age group showed the largest change (41.0 percent)

in the death rate for 1950 to 1967. The age group

25-34 years showed the second largest increase

(28.5 percent) in the death rate, becoming the age

group with the fifth highest rate.

These statistics seem to indicate a trend toward more motor vehicle deaths in the population

under age 35 years. Apossib!eexplanationfor this

finding is that there were agreater proportionof

persons underage 35 driving atthis laterdate. As

the ratio of drivers to nondriversin an age group

increases, a larger proportion ofpersons in that

age group are subjectedtothe riskofa fatal motor

vehicle accident.

Since it was noted in table Athatmotorvehicle death rates differed considerably more

between the sexes than between the color groups,

the age-specific death rates by sexwill be examined. In both 1950 and 1967 males of every age

group except those under lyearQfage in1967 had

higher motor vehicle death rates than females

(tables D and E). Table D indicates that in 1967 the

age-sex-specific rates differed most between

males and females aged 15-34 years. Rates ior

males aged 25-34 yearswereasmuchas 3.9 times

higher than those for females of the same age,

while rates for males were 3.6timesthose~or females ipthe age group 15-24 years.

Table E showsthat from1950tp1967 thelargest percent increases in the death rates occurred

for males in the age ranges 15-24 (34.6 percent)

and 25-34 (24.5 percent) andforfemales inthe age

group 15-24 years (69.0 percent),35-44 (45.9percent), and 25-34 (40.9 percent). Here again the

large percent increases in deathratesfrom motor

vehicle accidents for females aged 15-44 mayresultfrom alarger proportionofwomen aged15-44

driving in 1967 than in 1950. The largest percent

decrease of 18.6 percent occurred in the male

group aged75- 84 years.

Figures 4 and 5 present age-specific motor

vehicle death ratesfor1967 forthetwosex groups,

the two color groups, and the four color-sex

groups. The highest rates for any color or sex

group across the agespan were for males,except

at ages under 5 years (fig. 4). Males had higher

rates than females in every age category except

for those under lyearofage. All other persons

had higher rates than white persoas ineightof the

11 age categories. The three groups where rates

for white persons exceededratesfor allotherpersons were for the age groups 15-24,75-84,and85

years and over. Rates forthreeof thefour sex and

colar groups, those for males, females, andwhite

persons, peaked in the15-24 group and thenagain

in one of the two oldest age groups,

(from 1.2.8 to 34.7 in 1949-51 and from 13.6 to

35.5 in 1959-61). In both time periods the Mountain Division had the highest rate, while the New

England and the Middle Atlantic Divisions had

the lowest rates. Over time the age-adjusted death

rates for the nine divisions remain~,d relatively

stable. The largest change in motor vehicle death

rates, a decrease of 13.1 percent, occurred for

the Pacific Division. This change was not due to

the addition of Hawaii and Alaska in the 1959-61

time period, since the age-adjusted death rate

for the Pacific Division without their inclusion

was 26.2 in the 1959-61 period. The decrease in

motor vehicle death rates then was almost as

large (11.8 percent) with only Washington, Oregon, and California composing the Pacific Division.

Figure 6 divides the age-adjusted motor vehicle death rates for the 50 States and the District

of Columbia into four rate categories. The six

lowest rates in the 1959-61 time period fell between

9.2 and 13.9 deaths per 100,000 population. These

rates in ascending order belonged to Rhode Island

(9.2), the District of Columbia (12.4), Massachusetts (12.4), Connecticut (12.7), New Jersey (13.4),

and New York (13.9). The seven States with the

highest rates, ranging from 36.3 to 49.6 deaths per

100,000 population, in descending order belonged

to Nevada (49.6), Wyoming (44.9), New Mexico

(43.4), Montana (40.4), South Dakota (37.2), Arizona (36.7), and Idaho (36.3). All of these seven

States except South Dakota are in the Mountain

Division.

MILEAGE DRIVEN

Another way to study motor vehicle mortality is to look at mileage death rates. Vehicular

mileage can be taken as an indication of exposure

to the possibility y of accidents. A high mileage

death rate therefore indicates a high proportion

of deaths per miles driven. Mileage driven was

selected as an indicator of risk because a better

one, person-miles traveled, was not available.

It is estimated annually from the amount of gasoline consumed.

Mileage death rates by State for 1967 ranged

from 2.6 to 9.4 deaths per 100 million vehiclemiles. Figure 7 shows that by this index as well,

Southern and Mountain States had the highest rates

(death rates per 100 million vehicle-miles traveled), while Northeastern States had the lowest

rates.

Figure 8 shows the mileage death rates for the

entire time span under study, 1950 to 1967. Mileage

death rates declined yearly or remained stationary

from 1950 to 1961—from 7.6 to 5.2 deaths per 100

million vehicle-miles. From 1961 to 1966 rates increased yearly or remained stationary rising to a

rate of 5.7 deaths per 100 million vehicle-miles,

far below the 1950 peak rate. In 1967 the mileage

death rate declined slightly following the same

pattern of slight decline from 1966 to 1967 as the

age-adjusted motor vehicle death rate.

The picture in figure 8 ~iffers from that in

figure 1. As shown in figure 1, age-adjusted motor

vehicle death rates also reached a low in 1961, but

they reached a high in 1966. This latter analysis by

mileage driven indicates that there were fewer

deaths per miles driven in 1966 than there were in

1950, The reason therefore “for the higher motor

vehicle death rate per 100,000 population in 1966

(27.1) than in 1950 (23.1) is that there were more

miles driven in 1966 than in 1950. In fact, vehicular mileage more than doubled over this time

span,

ranged from 1.4 to 1.7 times as great as those for

metropolitan counties. Nonmetropolitan counties

also had a larger range of motor vehicle death

rate values than metropolitan counties. Rates for

metropolitan counties ranged from 11.7 deaths per

100,000 population in New England to 24.6 deaths

per 100,000 population in the Mountain Division;

while rates for nonmetropolitan counties ranged

from 17.3 in New England to 39.9 in the Mountain

Division.

Figure 9 and table H indicate the location of

the 40 standard metropolitan statistical areas

(SMSA’S) with the highest motor vehicle death

rates. Not shown in figure 9 are the 17 remaining SM3A’S also having populations of 500,000

or more in 1960. They, largely clustered in the

Northeast Region, had lower motor vehicle death

rates. The highest rates in 1960 were for SMSA’S

in the West and South, the lowest for those in

the Northeast. This result concurs with all the

previous geographic findings.

MARITAL STATUS

Married persons aged 15 years and over had

the lowest motor vehicle death rates of the four

marital status groups in 1959-61 (3-year average)

(table J). Motor vehicle death rates which were

not adjusted for age showed widowed persons with

the next lowest rate; but when the rates were adjusted for differences in age distributions, single

persons (those never married) showed the second

lowest rate. In both cases, divorced persons had

the highest motor vehicle death rates.

Table K divides the four marital status groups

by sex and by color. In all four marital groups,

males had higher age-adjusted rates than females.

All other persons had higher age-adjusted rates

than white persons in the single and married populations. Mortality differentials by sex were largest for the single and divorced populations, with

males having respective age-adjusted rates 4.7

and 3.8 times those for females. The relative

differences between white and all other persons,

however, were largest inthewidowedand divorced

populations, where all other persons had age-adjusted rates 60 percent as high asthe rates for

white persons.

Figure 10 presents the motor vehicle death

rates for the four marital groups aged 15years

and over. In each age group over 25years of age,

divorced persons had the highest rate. Widowed

persons had the highest rates under age 25and

the second highest rates ineach of the other age

groups under age 60. Single persons had the next

highest rates in each age group under 60, with

married persons consistently having the lowest

motor vehicle death rates of all miirital populations underage 75.

Figure 11 expands the sex-specific maritalstatus rates over the age range of persons aged

15 years and over. As seen in table Kwith ageadjusted rates, all four male groups had higher

rates than all four corresponding female groups

across the age span. Peak rates for divorced and

widowed males, the two groups with the highest

rates, occurred in the age group 20-24 years.

In examining death rates by marital status, it

shouldbe noted that both the numerators and de120 r

APPENDIX

QUALIFICATIONS OF

The rates shown in this report are based on deaths

occurring in the United States, with Alaska added in 1959

and Hawaii in 1960. Both Alaska and Hawaii are included

in all the 3-year average rates for 1959-61. Deaths

among nonresident aliens in the United States are included. Deaths among Armed Forces overseas and among

U.S. citizens living abroad are excluded. Data presented

for geographic divisions, States, metropolitan—nonmetropolitan counties, and standard metropolitan statistical

areas are by place of residence. For nonresident aliens

the place of residence is considered the same as the

place of occurrence.

Cause of Death

Since 1900 the causes of death have been classified

according to eight different revisions of the International

Classification of Diseases (the last going into effect for

1968 data). Each revision has produced some breaks in

the comparability of cause-of-death statistics. However,

motor vehicle fatality is among the causes for which the

classifications are essentially comparable for all revisions.

The Sixth Revision of the International Classification

of Diseases, adopted by the World Health Organization in

1948, was used for mortality data in the United States

from 1949 to 1957. The Seventh Revision, adopted in 1955,

was used from 1958 to 1967.

In both the Sixth and Seventh Revisions, the motor

vehicle fatality category numbers were E81O-E835.

Comparability ratios of the number of cases assigned by

the Seventh Revision to the number by the Sixth Revision

were computed to give quantitative indications of the net

changes between the two revisions. The comparability

ratio for the total motor vehicle fatality population was

1.00. It was also 1.00 for both sex groups, for both color

groups, and for all four color-sex groups. 2

Rates

All

DATA

rates are shown Der 100.000 uouulation or Der

100 million vehicle miles. In many casea, the rates are

shown beyond the last significan~ figure, for convenience

in-computation and publication.

Rates based on fewer than 20 deaths are shown with

an asterisk to indicate that these figures are subject to

large fluctuations. The number “20” is arbitrary and is

not set forth as a critical point distinguishing statistically

reliable rates from unreliable rates.

The age-adjusted rates presented in this report were

computed by the direct method, that is, by applying the

age-specific death rates for motor vehicle fatalities to

the standard population distributed by age. The total population as enumerated in 1940 was selected as the standard. The rates for the total population and for each colorsex group were adjusted separately, using the same

standard population. It is important not to compare ageadjusted rates with unadjusted rates.

Age-adjusted rates are shown with an asterisk where

more than half of the age-specific death rates are based

on fewer than 20 deaths.

Color

The category “white” includes, in addition to persons reported as white, persons reported to be Mexican or Puerto Rican and until 1964 those with race not

stated. In 1964 deaths with race not stated were assigned

to white or Negro on the assumption that the distribution

of not stated events by race is the same as that of deaths

with race stated. No allocation of’ ‘notstated” was made

to the other races group.

The category“allother” consistsof persons re.

ported as Negro, American Indian,Chinese,and Japanese; persons of numerically small racial groups;

and persons of mixed white and other races.

Deaths by race were not available for New Jersey

in 1962 and 1963. The item was omitted on the death

certificate at the beginning of 1962 and waa not reinstated until the latter part of that year. The 1963

38
statistics by race were also incomplete because of the

continued u sc of the certificates omitting the race item.

Consequently, rates for color for the United States exclude New Jersey in both 1962 and 1963.

Geographic Classification

The standard metropolitan statistical areas used in

this report are essentially those established by the U.S.

Bureau of the Budget as of 1960 and used by the Bureau

of the Census, The only differences occur in the New

England States. In New England the M&tropolitan State

Economic Areas (MSEA’S) established by the Bureau of

the Census are used. In this report only SMSA’S with a

population of 500,000 or more in 1960 are presented.

Counties which are included in SMSA’S or in New

England MSEA’S are called metropolitan; all other

counties are classified as nonmetropolitan.

Population Bases

I{ok,s ~re co,inputed on the bases of population statistics made available by the U.S. Bureau of the Census.

They include populations present in the specified areas,

including the Armed Forces stationed in the area, but exclud.: the Armed Forces overseas and persons living

abroad.

Populations for 1950 and 1960 are enumerated as of

April 1. For all other years the population estimated as

of July 1 was used. The rates for the years 1951 through

1959 are based on the final intercensal population estimates 3 and, as a result, may differ slightly from rates

published earlier which were based on provisional population estimates. Population estimates by color for 1962

and 1963 exclude New Jersey.

The 3-year average annual rates were computed

using the number of deaths occurring for the 3 years and

the decemial enumerated populations, multiplied by 3.

Some of the 1960 population data published by the

Bureau of the Census was obtained on a complete-count

basis in the 100-percent enumeration and some on a 25-

percent sample enumeration. There are differences

between these two sets of published figures, with the

greateat differences in the older agea.

100-percent enumeration are used in computing vital

statistics rates. Exceptions are made where populations

are required for characteristics which were not covered

in the complete count. In this report motor vehicle death

rates by marital status are exceptions; they are based on

populations from the 25-percent sample.
