Columbia, Missouri is centrally located in Missouri. It is 100 miles east of Kansas City and 70 miles west of St. Louis. Columbia has the highest concentration of young people (the average age is 26) in Missouri. Also notable is the high number of residents with a bachelor’s degree or higher, as more than half the population aged 25 and over, twice the Missouri state average, are college educated. According to the United States census, Columbia grew by more than 20% over Missouri’s average rate of 4.4% in the last ten years. A rapid influx of residents in addition to the youthful mean age predictably increases the likely hood of Columbia, Missouri motor vehicle accidents.
According to the Missouri Highway Patrol, there were 2,780 traffic accidents during 2009 in Columbia, Missouri, 25% of which involved injuries or fatalities. Columbia ranks 5th among all Missouri cities for motor vehicle accidents reported with injuries. The number of wrongful death claims and personal injuries related to traffic accidents increased slightly in 2010 even though the total number of motor vehicle accidents decreased by one third. One contributing factor may be in the number of commuters and/or passengers who choose to not wear seat belts. According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, the state-wide average for safety belt usage decreased from 2009 to 2010 to 76%, well below the national average.
