Place of Occurrence Wise Road Accident Deaths
The Place of Occurrence-wise Road Accident Deaths dataset, published by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) under the Accidental Deaths and Suicides in India (ADSI) reports, provides a granular breakdown of road accident fatalities across India based on specific places of occurrence. The Place of Occurrence-wise Road Accident Deaths dataset classifies deaths by location type including near schools or colleges, residential areas, religious places, recreation venues, factories, pedestrian crossings, and other areas and further distinguishes data for rural and urban areas, disaggregated by gender.

| Data insights | The Rural and Urban Area-wise Place-specific Road Accident Deaths by Gender dataset reveals significant insights into how location type, area classification, and gender influence the risk of fatal road accidents in India. Data patterns often show that urban areas near pedestrian crossings, residential zones, and factories experience a higher number of deaths due to dense traffic, mixed mobility, and inadequate pedestrian infrastructure, while rural areas near schools or religious places show fatalities linked to limited road safety measures, poor visibility, and lack of enforcement.Gender-disaggregated data highlight that men account for the majority of fatalities, reflecting greater exposure to public roads and occupational mobility, while female and transgender fatalities, though fewer, often occur in proximity to residential and community spaces, underscoring the need for inclusive safety planning. |

| Methodology | The Traffic Accidents in India data are compiled and published by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India. The information is collected annually through a standardized reporting process based on the First Information Reports (FIRs) and related police records maintained at the state and district levels. Each reported traffic accident is recorded by local police authorities and categorized according to cause, type of vehicle involved, number of casualties (injured and deceased), and place of occurrence. State Crime Record Bureaus (SCRBs) and District Crime Record Bureaus (DCRBs) aggregate these data and transmit them to the NCRB, which performs data validation, consistency checks, and compilation to ensure accuracy and comparability across states and years. |
