The statistics in this report do not pertain to the city of Albuquerque. This is a statewide comparison, and it's not relevant to a topic on Albuquerque.
Yup. If you are aware of statistics relevant to the city of Albuquerque that are comprehensive, not just applicable to a specific insurance company's customers, feel free to share.
From 2001-2010 the crash rate in ABQ fell by 32%, the injury crash rate fell by 47%.
In 2009 the crash fatality rate in Albuquerque (8.3) was lower than the national average (10), and crash rate and pedestrian fatality rate was similar to other similar sized cities in the region (El Paso, Austin).
The above post is relevant here because an argument was immediately presented claiming

We are not to going to argue, start multiple arguments, bicker and present an endless number of points just to suit your ego of why you think you are correct. The bicyle issues which faded away in this thread has been discussed in the past in this forum. The worst drivers issue has been discussed in the past in this forum. Those subjects just might be merged into one thread. This is not a debate. This is a discussion forum...
Based on the original topic post, which pertains to the safety of driving in Albuquerque according to the 2014 Allstate report, the rate that traffic collisions fell between 2001 to 2010 is irrelevant. The data from 2009 is 5 years outdated. Once again, statistics are presented in the thread like a red herring. The only thing that would make the data from the Allstate report (again, the actual topic of the thread) more meaningful would be to factor in the annual miles per household for each city by finding the multiplier for each of the 200 cities using the method I outlined above and then re-rank the cities. These results pertain to only the drivers in Albuquerque who have Allstate insurance, but in the absence of a random sample there is no other data that pertains specifically to the city of Albuquerque in comparison with other cities.
*I will NOT post the results of re-ranking the cities in the Allstate report based on mileage while the moderator continues to discriminate against me deleting my posts on the grounds of "off topic" while all the other people who have posts in this thread that are indeed "off topic" are not victims of the same discrimination.
Fine, even if we were to assume the Allstate report (using outdated data from 2011-2012) had any validity, we're not even in the worst 35% of cities according to it, titles of news stories notwithstanding.
