Assembly District 27: Traffic Crash Statistics

Crash Counter for AD 27 268 crashes • 1 deaths
About these crash totals
Counts come from NYC police crash reports (NYPD Motor Vehicle Collisions on NYC Open Data). We sum all crashes, injuries, and deaths for this area across the selected time window shown on the card. Injury severity follows DOT's KABCO definitions mapped from the NYPD Person table (injury status, injury type, and injury location).
- Crashes: number of police‑reported collisions (all road users).
- All injuries: people with any reported injury (KABCO A/B/C or generic "injured").
- Moderate / Serious: suspected minor + suspected serious injuries (KABCO B + A).
- Deaths: killed or apparent death reported by police (KABCO K).
Change badges (arrows and percentages) compare the selected window with the same period last year whenever we have enough history. The “From 2022” view shows totals across the full span since 2022. When a comparison window isn’t available the badge shows an em dash.
Notes: Police reports can be corrected after initial publication. We cannot verify "death within 30 days" or hospital outcomes, so small differences from DOT totals are possible. Minor incidents without a police report are not included.

What Crashes Cost Here Loading estimate...
Loading crash cost estimate...
The three blocks below show direct costs, other harm, and the total for crashes with injuries, crashes without injuries, and all crashes together.
How we calculate this
We calculate these costs using a method developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA. It gives one set of costs for crashes with injuries and another for crashes with no reported injuries.
Crashes with injuries cost much more because the method includes things like lost work, medical care, and long-term harm. NHTSA says crash costs include "lost productivity, medical, legal and court costs, emergency service, insurance administration, congestion, property damage, and workplace losses."
These are estimates, not bills. "Other harm" is the part of the broader estimate that goes beyond direct bills and insurance claims. It captures pain, disability, and lost quality of life.

- Counts include people on foot only; crashes with no injured pedestrians do not appear in this card.
Notes: Police classification can change during investigations. Small categories may have year-to-year variance.
