How were these numbers calculated?

We analyzed NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets (Crashes h9gi-nx95, Persons f55k-p6yu, Vehicles bm4k-52h4) for Jan 1, 2022–Sep 11, 2025, filtered to Assembly District 50’s geography (Greenpoint, Williamsburg, South Williamsburg, and CB1) using our site’s boundary mapping. We tallied total crashes, injuries, deaths, serious injuries, time-of-day patterns, and top locations. Data were last extracted Sep 10, 2025. You can explore the base crash dataset [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95).
