    I found that strange too. But I guess a lot of cities are so unwalkable there are no pedestrians. I think this data should be % of pedestrians hit by cars or something

      Below a certain threshold, being a pedestrian is less a lifestyle choice and more the only way to get around. A lot of those cities have high poverty rates.

      I was wondering how cities that are so terrible people just don’t walk them factors into it.

        Honestly, a more walkable city might have more pedestrian deaths, just because more pedestrians means more chances for a pedestrian to be killed.

        Yeah; I think this data is biased to only include places with a decent pedestrian culture
