27 people died in crashes on Marrero’s roads in 2019–2023
Marrero had 23 fatal crashes in five years, in which 27 people died; 15 were pedestrians and 1 was a cyclist. 5 died in crashes on an Interstate.
That is 16.6 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, above the median for Louisiana towns of 25,000–100,000 people (11.3, 11 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.

Crimes reported to the FBI per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Harvey and Estelle are unincorporated communities (census-designated places) with no police department of their own. New Orleans reported to the FBI for 2023 but not 2024 or 2025.
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.
