Hamilton County Ohio Car Accident Attorney Discusses Statistics

Named after founding father Alexander Hamilton, Hamilton County is located in the far southwest corner of Ohio, and is home to almost 850,000 residents. Over half of those residents live in Cincinnati, which takes its name from Roman hero Cincinnatus, while approximately 302,000 residents live in the various townships in Hamilton County. A comparatively large population makes gleaning useful information from the crash statistics in Hamilton County possible, though having multiple years adds additional context.

Hamilton County recorded a grand total of 8,720 traffic accidents and a total of 26 traffic-related fatalities in 2007, which is a little less than what one would expect when discussing a population of over 300,000 in a state that routinely offers motorists challenging driving weather and conditions. 2008 saw 8,862 traffic accidents on the books of Hamilton County along with another 20 traffic-related fatalities. 278 of the 2008 traffic accidents in Hamilton County were linked to alcohol, as were 7 of the traffic-fatalities. 2007 saw similar statistics with 261 traffic accidents linked directly to alcohol along with 5 traffic-related deaths.

The Township of Colerain saw 3 alcohol-related traffic fatalities in 2007 and another in 2008, leading Hamilton County in the number of alcohol-related traffic fatalities both years. This is not unexpected given the fact that the Township of Colerain is home to 60,144 residents, more than any other township in Hamilton County. Additionally, the Township of Colerain reported a total of 1,930 traffic accidents in 2007 along with 9 traffic-related fatalities, and another1, 880 traffic accidents and 6 traffic-fatalities in 2008.

While it might seem on the surface that the Township of Colerain is a particularly dangerous place for motorists in Hamilton County, the truth is that the traffic-related statistics are actually well within the expected ranges. The Township of Sycamore is actually a far more dangerous place for motorists in Hamilton County, with 1,043 traffic accidents on record during 2007 and another 1,042 during 2008. For a township with only 19,675 residents, these numbers are comparatively high and mark the Township of Sycamore as one of the more dangerous places for motorists in Hamilton County. On the hand, not even a single traffic-related fatality was recorded in the Township in Sycamore during 2007 or 2008.

Both Green and Colerain are home to the most unexplained traffic accidents, which is not unexpected given the fact that they are the two most populated townships in the county with 60,144 residents and 55,660 residents respectively. 2007 saw Colerain and Green report 14, and 11 unexplained and/or un-attributable traffic accidents respectively, while both townships reported an additional 14 such accidents each in 2008. The Township of Springfield also seems to have a large number of unexplained and/or un-attributable traffic accidents, with 11 on file each year. For a township with 37.587 residents, Springfield is the per capita leader in Hamilton County for unexplained traffic accidents.

The township of Delhi stands out as a particularly safe place for motorists in Hamilton County on a per capita basis. With 30,104 residents, the Township of Delhi reported only 382 traffic accidents in 2007 and another 422 in 2008. While 2007 was a traffic-fatality free year for the Township of Delhi, 2008 saw a single traffic fatality go on the books in Delhi.
