How were these numbers calculated?

We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets: Crashes (h9gi‑nx95), Persons (f55k‑p6yu), and Vehicles (bm4k‑52h4). We filtered for incidents within Senate District 25 and dates from 2022‑01‑01 to 2025‑09‑27, and we counted crashes, injuries, serious injuries, and deaths, plus 12‑month and year‑to‑date windows. Data were extracted Sep 26–27, 2025.
