Abstract	There are more than 25 million people age 70 years and older in the United States. In 2000, this age group made up 9.2 percent of the total U.S. resident population, compared with 8.5 percent in 1990. From 1990 to 2000, this older segment of the population grew nearly twice as fast as the total population. In 2000, 181,000 older individuals were injured in traffic crashes, accounting for 6 percent of all the people injured in traffic crashes during the year. These older individuals made up 13 percent of all traffic fatalities, 12 percent of all vehicle occupant fatalities, and 17 percent of all pedestrian fatalities. This fact sheet compares accident and fatality rates of older Americans against other age groups. 3 Figures, 2 tables.
