How NHTSA records pedestrians killed

People coded as pedestrians who died within 30 days of the crash. The share is of all road deaths in the state.

A share is only given over 20 crashes (or deaths); otherwise the row says "Not enough data" and has no rank. Shares are of the state's own fatal crashes or deaths. For deaths per resident and per mile driven, see the car accident rate by state. The full method.
