Ranked across the ~55 most populous countries in this atlas (not all 200+ World Bank economies), highest road-death rate at the top. The year column is the latest reported value for each country and indicator. Bar length is relative to the highest value shown. These are rates per 100,000 people — they reflect risk per resident, not the total number of deaths.

World Bank aggregate series. Income groups (high / upper-middle / lower-middle / low) and regions are the Bank's own classifications. The spark line traces 2000→latest; "change" is latest vs. 2000. These aggregates are population-weighted estimates, not a simple average of member countries.
