In this study, we examined rural-urban differences in motor vehicle fatality (MVF) risk factors using 2017 County Health Rankings data to run stratified regression models to estimate county-level correlates of motor vehicle fatalities (MVFs) by rural and urban location. Rural counties have higher rates of MVFs than urban counties (22 vs. 14 per 100,000, p<0.001).
