On the roads

Three people died in crashes on White Rock Township’s roads in 2019–2023

White Rock Township had 3 fatal crashes in five years, in which three people died.

That is more than is typical for Illinois towns of 2,500–5,000 people: at their median rate (7.1 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of White Rock Township’s size would see about 0 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so White Rock Township’s own rate (58.4) 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.
  • A county agency covers a wide area. Its totals mix many communities, so they say little about any one of them.
  • Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
