COMMUNITIES OF CONCERN <br />When analyzing the residing zip codes of motorists involved in fatal traffic crashes, it was found that <br />the majority (87%) of those involved are residents of Hawaii Island (see Figure 4). This means that <br />fatal traffic crashes have a reverberating impact throughout the community, affecting family, friends, <br />and neighbors of those who fell victim to these senseless traffic deaths. Delving further into the data <br />on the race of the deceased, it was found that Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are three <br />times more likely to be killed on Hawai'i Island roads than whites (see Figure 5). <br />Map 1 identifies the cumulative residing zip codes of the Hawaii Island resident drivers involved <br />in a fatal traffic crash between the years 2013 and 2019. Included on the map are the location of <br />all fatal traffic crashes during that time period. Communities of concern and the location of <br />available police stations and hospitals have been delineated as well. <br />FIGURE 4.
