The "national averages" are based on 5 and 6 year old numbers when Hamilton was at 11 deaths for 490,000. For pedestrians we are now at 8 per 520,000 or 1.5 per 100,000 which historically has been about the average for every major municipality in Ontario in recent years. As I have said before many times however, whether it is 8 or 11, from a statistical perspective the numbers were and are very low. This is a slightly lower risk than being killed in a violent storm (1 in 68,000) or way lower than death by slipping in a bathtub (1 in 11,000.)
