A. Người Mỹ bản địa                                    B. Người Mỹ gốc Á

C. Người Mỹ da trắng                                    D. Người Mỹ gốc Phi

Tai nạn không xảy ra ngẫu nhiên. Người từ 85 tuổi trở lên có khả năng chết do tai nạn cao hơn 21 lần so với trẻ em 5-9 tuổi. Nguy cơ cho người Mĩ bản địa gấp 4 lần người Mĩ gốc Á và 2 lần người Mĩ da trắng hoặc người Mĩ gốc Phi. Nam giới chịu tỉ lệ tai nạn cao hơn 2 lần nữ giới, một phần vì họ có xu hướng thực hiện các hành vi mang tính rủi ro nhiều hơn. Người Alaska có khả năng chết do tai nạn gấp 3 lần người ở Rhode Island. Người Texas có tỉ lệ chết trong thảm họa tự nhiên nhiều hơn người New Jersey 21 lần. Trong 100 hạt đông dân nhất, hạt Kern, California (Bakerfield) có tỉ lệ tử vong gấp 3 lần hạt Summit, Ohio (Akron).

Tai nạn xảy ra thường xuyên hơn đối với người nghèo. Những người sống nghèo khổ nhận được dịch vụ y tế kém, thường ở trong những ngôi nhà có lỗi về hệ thống sưởi hoặc điện, lái những chiếc xe cũ hơn với ít tính năng an toàn hơn, và ít dùng dây an toàn hơn. Người sống ở nông thôn gặp tai nạn nhiều hơn người thành phố hoặc người ở vùng ngoại ô vì việc đồng áng nhiều nguy cơ hơn hẳn làm việc trong một nhà máy hay văn phòng và bởi dịch vụ cấp cứu ít sẵn có hơn. Hai nhân tố này - thu nhập thấp và sinh sống ở vùng nông thôn - có thể giải thích được vì sao miền nam có tỉ lệ tai nạn cao hơn miền bắc.
