What Wodonga Wire did to the published figures
- Calculation
- sum the published fatal and serious_injury counts, divided by all published severity counts for each LGA across the release's calendar years
- Applied to
- 1 published figure
The publisher's severity code is retained; Wodonga Wire only sums the published counts. This is severity, not risk: it says how bad recorded crashes were, not how likely one was.
What this figure does not establish
- Recorded crashes are police-reported injury crashes and are location-based. Crashes involving Wodonga residents in New South Wales are outside this Victorian source.
- The statewide aggregate excludes source rows with no publisher LGA. That omission does not change the displayed statewide share when rounded to one decimal place.

This page exists so the figure on Roads, transport & safety can be checked without taking Wodonga Wire's word for it. Where the publisher's own page has moved or been withdrawn, the preserved copy above is what Wodonga Wire read, with the hash it had when it was read — it is not the publisher's current page and is not presented as one.
