For the Belknap County numbers...
Pedestrians don't wear seatbelts, and a driver wearing a seatbelt but still running over a pedestrian would have the same result.

Drunk driving is also not a function of seatbelts... so you would need to determine whether whom they hit would have benefit from a seatbelt.

Belknap County has a lot of tourism traffic, so when the deaths are calculated based on per resident, it tends to skew upward.
