Every Death on Every U.S. Road 2004-2013

The data I used for this map is from the FARS database. I downloaded each year separately from here, and combined each of the tables manually. Since the structure of the database changes from year to year (the tables, the information fields, and the coding of the information fields), I combined only the core pieces of the database and threw out the rest.

In short:

  • Any fields that were added or removed from FARS between 2004 and 2013 will not be in these files.
  • The coding of the fields is not always consistent across years, so you should check the documentation.
  • The files are large (~200 MB) and in .xlsx format.

FARS is some of the most interesting government data I’ve worked with. If you do something interesting with it, please shoot me a note and let me know.
