12 people died in crashes on Upper Pittsgrove Township’s roads in 2019–2023
Upper Pittsgrove Township had 11 fatal crashes in five years, in which 12 people died.
That is 69.2 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, above the median for New Jersey towns of 2,500–5,000 people (4.9, 163 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.
