Iowa Traffic Deaths: 1935 Rate Still Drives Long-Term Death Toll
Swanson’s figures show Iowa would have seen 19,995 deaths in 1936–1957 if the 1935 rate of 11.5 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled had persisted. Actual deaths since 1935 total 11,757, saving 8,238 lives. The best year was 1952 with 531 deaths vs 1,152 at the 1935 rate, implying we could still save 100 lives this year if pursued.
