Number of fatal and injury crashes by region is from RD049. Regional population estimates used to calculate the 2017 crash rates are from: https://www.stats.govt.nz/information-releases/subnational-population-estimates-at-30-june-2018-provisional Earlier year crash rates are based on analogous provisional estimates that were available when the crash rate was initially calculated, and have not been revised even if the population estimate for that year was later revised. Note that crash rates for each year are calculated using the population as of 30 June of the following year (example: 2017 crash rates are based on 30 June 2018 population estimates). |
