How were these numbers calculated?

We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets — Crashes, Persons, and Vehicles — filtered to the East Village (NTA MN0303) and the window Jan 1, 2022–Sep 4, 2025. We counted total deaths, injuries, and serious injuries from the Persons table and matched times and locations from the Crashes table. Data were accessed Sep 4, 2025. See the datasets [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95), with companion tables for [Persons](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Person/f55k-p6yu) and [Vehicles](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Vehicles/bm4k-52h4).
