Stop 1 of 9 · How often
The City of Hoboken counted 1,399 crashes reported to police in 2023. NJDOT's dashboard lists far fewer from February 2023 on, so the rest of this page uses every record NJDOT has: 4,389 since January 1, 2019.

Stop 2 of 9 · Crashes that hurt
That's 761 of 4,389. Only 35 killed or seriously hurt someone, too few to rank roads on, so Hoboken's pages count every crash that hurt someone.
In the picture: Every crash, 4,389 of them, as a dot in one disc, laid out like the seeds of a sunflower, with the 761 that hurt someone in red. Then a lens opens on its middle: in every 6 crashes, on average, 1 hurt someone and 5 hurt no one.

Stop 5 of 9 · The worst corner
The most of any corner. 133 crashes, no one killed. 5 involved someone on foot or a bike.
In the picture: The map dives into the corner where 14th St meets Willow Ave, and its ground tilts up into a 3D model of it, its two streets at the angles they really run, with a red pin for each of the 43 people hurt there since 2019. The pins stand together at the corner: the records don't say where at it each person was hurt.

Stop 6 of 9 · People on foot
Someone on foot was in 6% of all crashes. The worse the crash, the bigger that share. A crash with someone on foot was 8 times as likely to hurt someone as a crash with only people in vehicles: 84%, against 10%.
In the picture: A dot for each crash. The dots gather into a person walking, a bike, a motorcycle and a car, then pour into four columns: someone on foot, on a bike, on a motorcycle, and only people in vehicles, each with its picture on top.
Counselworthy analysis of NJDOT's crash dashboard. Each crash counts once: someone on foot, then on a bike, then a motorcycle.
Stop 7 of 9 · Time of day
That's 337 of the 761 with a time on the report, in 8 of the day's 24 hours. Noon to 4 pm and 4 to 8 pm had the most, 191 and 195. A crash between 8 pm and midnight was 1.6 times as likely to hurt someone as one between 8 am and noon: 23%, against 14%.
In the picture: A 24-hour clock with one dot for each crash, at the hour it happened. The slice from 4 pm to midnight is shaded, with its share in the middle.

Stop 7 of 9 · Late at night
That's 30 of the 55, on 2 of the week's 7 nights. Friday night runs into early Saturday, and Saturday night into early Sunday.
In the picture: The clock unrolls into one long day from noon to the next noon, then splits into seven rows, one for each night of the week. Each crash is a dot at its hour. Between midnight and 4 am, the crashes on Friday and Saturday nights turn red.

Stop 8 of 9 · Year by year
From February 2023, NJDOT's dashboard lists far fewer Hoboken crashes: the drop is missing records, not safer streets. 2026 runs through September 30, 2026.
In the picture: A row for each year, like the rods of an abacus. Each crash lands on its year's row at the day of the year it happened, then the dots slide left into a bar with the year's count at its end. 2022 is marked the most. 2026's row stops where the records do. A line marks where NJDOT's records thin out.

Counselworthy analysis of NJDOT's crash dashboard, January 2019 to September 2026, saved October 12, 2026. Streets come from the road names police wrote, and a crash at a corner counts on both streets. NJDOT lists far fewer Hoboken crashes from February 2023 on, so every street's counts are low.

02Per mile driven
4.4 per million miles on Washington Street, the highest, though too few crashes stand behind it to rule out chance. 14th Street carries the most, about 9,300 a day, and had 3.1. Crash counts rise with traffic. These divide each road's crashes that hurt someone by the miles driven on it, 2020 to 2022.
Per million miles drivenThe range chance alone could give itNew Jersey, every road, 2022
Washington Street: 4.4 crashes that hurt someone per million miles driven, from 47 crashes. Chance alone could put it anywhere from 3.2 to 5.8. About 8,000 cars a day.
Willow Avenue: 3.2 crashes that hurt someone per million miles driven, from 33 crashes. Chance alone could put it anywhere from 2.2 to 4.5. About 5,300 cars a day.
14th Street: 3.1 crashes that hurt someone per million miles driven, from 20 crashes. Chance alone could put it anywhere from 1.9 to 4.7. About 9,300 cars a day.
No rate yet
Counselworthy analysis of NJDOT crash records and FHWA traffic counts, 2020 to 2022. A rate counts a road's crashes that hurt someone where a traffic count runs beside them, over the miles driven there: each stretch's cars a day, times its length, times the days. Traffic counts are estimates too. Each road's line shows the range chance alone could give it (95%). Cars a day are FHWA's 2022 counts. Sources: FHWA traffic counts, saved October 26, 2026; NJDOT statewide crash rates, checked October 26, 2026.
03The hours
That's 337 of the 761 with a time on the report, in 8 of the day's 24 hours. A crash between 8 pm and midnight was 1.6 times as likely to hurt someone as one between 8 am and noon: 23%, against 14%.

Crashes are set against crashes, and people against people, so how busy a street or an hour is doesn't skew it. Where few crashes stand behind a number, it says “at least” and gives the low end of what the records support. Each line's source is under it.
