On the roads

Five people died in crashes on Naples’s roads in 2019–2023

Naples had 5 fatal crashes in five years, in which five people died; 1 was a cyclist.

That is fewer than is typical for Florida towns of 5,000–25,000 people: at their median rate (11.0 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Naples’s size would see about 11 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Naples’s own rate (5.1) is context, not a ranking.

Deaths are counted where the crash happened, not where the people lived: a highway through town adds through-traffic deaths, and residents’ own risk on roads elsewhere isn’t here. Town rates sit below state and U.S. rates because a third of fatal crashes happen outside any town. Road safety is described here and is not part of the Safety Grade.

How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • It’s reported crime. Only incidents reported to and recorded by police appear here. Many crimes are never reported to police.
  • One number for all of Naples. A town-wide rate doesn’t show where incidents happen, and that can differ a lot from one part of town to another.
  • Visitors count too. Incidents involving people who work, shop or visit are counted against Naples’ residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
  • Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (19,668 in 2022); our figure for Naples is 20,114 (2025 Census estimate).
  • Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
