50 people died in crashes on Vineland’s roads in 2019–2023
Vineland had 43 fatal crashes in five years, in which 50 people died; 12 were pedestrians and 1 was a cyclist.
That is 16.4 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, above the median for New Jersey towns of 25,000–100,000 people (5.8, 102 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.
- One number for all of Vineland. A citywide rate doesn’t show where incidents happen, and that can differ a lot from one part of the city to another.
- Visitors count too. Incidents involving people who work, shop or visit are counted against Vineland’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (62,434 in 2025); our figure for Vineland is 62,703 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
