On the roads

Nine people died in crashes on Rapho Township’s roads in 2019–2023

Rapho Township had 9 fatal crashes in five years, in which nine people died; 1 was a pedestrian.

That is more than is typical for Pennsylvania towns of 5,000–25,000 people: at their median rate (5.8 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Rapho Township’s size would see about 4 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Rapho Township’s own rate (14.8) is context, not a ranking.

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. Mount Joy Township, Penn Township and East Donegal Township have no FBI figures of their own for 2023–2025. West Hempfield Township reported to the FBI for 2024 and 2025 but not 2023.

How to read these numbers

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.
