11 people died in crashes on Kidder Township’s roads in 2019–2023
Kidder Township had 9 fatal crashes in five years, in which 11 people died. Most of these deaths (9 of 11) were on an Interstate passing through, so they say more about through-traffic than about the town’s own streets.
That is 118.2 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, above the median for Pennsylvania towns of 2,500–5,000 people (7.1, 595 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 Kidder Township. A town-wide rate doesn’t show where incidents happen, and that can differ a lot from one part of town to another.
- Visitors count too. Incidents involving people who work, shop or visit are counted against Kidder Township’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (1,864 in 2025); our figure for Kidder Township is 1,856 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
