Accident Prone … Is it Real?

Accident-Prone Place?

Accident Prone Locations

Here’s an interesting article from The Telegraph (a UK newspaper):

Uk’s most accident-prone place

It proposes that some places in the UK are more accident-prone than others. What do you think? Are some locations more accident-prone? Or is this an example of interpreting the statistics as you want to see them?

I noticed that the “rates” they used were per 100,000 or 10,000 people. But is this the appropriate number? Shouldn’t the denominator be per the risks encountered?

For example, the driving statistics should be per mile driven. Working at height should be per hour working at height.

How Do You Interpret Statistics?

We call correctly interpreting statistics “trending.” And we have proven, advanced methods that are easy to understand and make trending meaningful.
