The data reveal that the victims of fatal road incidents in New York City are disproportionately Hispanic and Asian, pointing to systemic issues affecting these communities.
Asian New Yorkers represented 21.4 percent of the dead last year, despite being only 15.6 percent of the population, indicating a troubling trend related to dangerous delivery work.
Hispanic New Yorkers comprised 31 percent of the victims last year, while making up just 28.7 percent of the population, suggesting that the dangers of delivery work are unevenly affecting them.
White New Yorkers constitute 31 percent of the population but only made up 27.6 percent of the fatalities, possibly due to effective safety measures in their neighborhoods.
