California Senior Pedestrian Safety by County: 2021 and 2023

California OTS county tables report 1,828 pedestrian victims age 65 or older in 2023, compared with 1,679 in 2021. These are counts of older pedestrians killed or injured, not a population-adjusted risk rate. The broader OTS Pedestrians category includes any victim in a pedestrian-involved crash and cannot be used to calculate the share of pedestrian victims who were 65 or older.

Methodology and provenance

The Pedestrians 65+ count is copied from each of the 116 validated OTS county-year rows and refers to older pedestrians killed or injured. The OTS Pedestrians field instead counts all victims in pedestrian-involved crashes, including non-pedestrians. Both source counts remain in the stable downloads, but the former derived percentage is withheld because the fields do not have the same denominator population. Legacy download keys remain for compatibility: allPedestrianVictims means all victims in pedestrian-involved crashes, and seniorShareOfPedestrianVictimsPercent is null.

What this dataset cannot prove

  • The OTS category is age 65 and older. It does not describe injury severity, mobility, disability, trip purpose, road design, fault, or transportation access.
  • A senior share of all injured or killed pedestrians cannot be calculated from the two OTS fields shown here; the former derived percentage is withheld in both downloads.
  • This is a two-point comparison. It does not establish a continuous trend or explain why a count changed.
  • All Seniors Foundation sponsors Hurt Advice. OTS produced the source records and does not endorse Hurt Advice or the sponsor.
