Yes, it does lack detail. Here is the Wikipedia page of countries ranked by traffic-related deaths (the table headers are sortable) with data from 2013. Sweden has one of the lowest fatality rates per 100,000 inhabitants. But, interestingly, so does the UK with its much bigger population. Is there a common factor between these two countries that explains the low road fatality rates? Or maybe not? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-related_death_rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-r...

Wouldn't you measure traffic fatalities by deaths per miles driven? Doing it by population completely ignores factors like the percent of people who actually drive and how much they drive each year. If you use deaths per inhabitabt it wouldn't surprise me that NYC has a very low rate as well (hint: many people don't own cars in NYC).

  That statistic is also included in the table for some countries
