Gasoline Use and Motor Vehicle Accidents

U.S. Gasoline Per Capita Use By State divided by # of Deaths Due to Motor Vehicle Accidents per 100k

Created by: Chevy Avalanche

States toward the orange end of the spectrum have a proportionately low number of accidents compared to how much gasoline they use. States toward the orange end have a proportionately high number of accidents.

Although it would be tempting to conclude that people in lighter-colored states therefore are worse drivers, the differing use of gas-guzzlers vs. high-mileage cars in different states distorts any analysis.

Nah, looks like simple population density.

Here's a Mashup on Population density if you'd like to compare: http://www.datamasher.org/mash-ups/people-square-mile

It looks fair to say that population density has some weight in the outcomes, but there could still be something to be gleaned from the outliers.

West Virginia, Utah and Alaska, in particular, seem to depart quite a bit from what a simple population density map would suggest.

Okay, strike "population density," substitute "miles of paved roads." :)
