The source definition travels with the rate.
FARS requires a motor vehicle in transport and source-classified fatal injury within 30 days on a trafficway customarily open to the public. Public access is not a legal-ownership or blanket parking-area rule. The count follows crash origin and crash year, retaining qualifying unknown dates, missing coordinates and known 2025 death years.
The 2024 ARF is provisional. A later population-vintage comparison remains separately labelled; it is not a confidence interval or a replacement primary input. Source review does not override age limits, exact identity or quarterly comparability gates.
Source-first intelligence
Quote the people, period and region.
Keep “motor-vehicle traffic,” calendar 2024, provisional ARF, July 2024 Vintage 2024 population and the full metropolitan source name with a quoted rate. No overall city score or official quarterly result is established.
