Each town’s own police figures, per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025.
17 people died in crashes on St. John Township’s roads in 2019–2023
St. John Township had 17 fatal crashes in five years, in which 17 people died; 5 were pedestrians and 1 was a cyclist.
That is 4.8 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, below the median for Indiana towns of 25,000–100,000 people (8.1, 86 towns).
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.

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.
