We created a sprawl index by applying principal components analysis to data for 448 US counties in the largest 101 metropolitan areas. Regression analysis was used to determine associations between the index and traffic fatalities. Results. For every 1% increase in the index (i.e., more compact, less sprawl), all-mode traffic fatality rates fell by 1.49% (P<. and pedestrian fatality rates fell by to after adjustment for exposure conclusions. urban sprawl was directly related traffic fatalities fatalities. subsequent studies should investigate relationships at a finer geographic scale strive improve on the measure of used adjust rates.>
