How we counted

  • Every crash NJDOT's public crash dashboard lists for Hoboken from January 1, 2019 to September 30, 2026, saved October 12, 2026. NJDOT calls these records preliminary. New crashes can take weeks to appear, and older ones can change.
  • Hurt someone means the report lists an injury: a death, or a suspected serious, minor or possible injury, the top four of the five levels police use. We count crashes, not people. Hoboken has too few crashes that killed or seriously hurt someone to rank roads on, so these pages count every crash that hurt someone.
  • A crash counts toward Willow Avenue when the police report puts it there. Spellings of one road count as one, and the far side of a divided road counts as the same road.
  • Cross streets are the ones police wrote on the reports. Places on the chart and the map are where NJDOT put each crash, or, where NJDOT gives no point, where the two streets on the report meet. 2 of the 84 crashes have no usable location; they still count in every total.
  • The chart runs along the line that best fits the crash points, from the south end to the north end. On a road that bends, places along it are close, not exact.
  • Counts are not adjusted for traffic or road length. A long, busy road will have more crashes.
  • From February 2023, NJDOT's dashboard lists far fewer Hoboken crashes: about 30 a month, against about 63 before. Years since then undercount.
  • Crash numbers never change a law firm's score.
