"Conclusion: Using total injury death rate as an overall safety metric, US urban counties were safer than their rural counterparts, and injury death risk increased steadily as counties became more rural. Greater emphasis on elevated
injury-related mortality risk outside of large cities, attention to locality-specific injury prevention priorities, and an
increased focus on matching emergency care needs to emergency care resources are in order.

Without reading the entire document motor vehicle crashes seem to be number one in cause of death. Could it be that urbanites died while traveling in rural areas? The rural hospital next to a ski resort will have a high incident rate of broken bones compared to an urban hospital. One has to look at the information in context. You don't get many drownings in mid town Manhattan, yet its the number two cause of children's deaths in rural areas. Several vacationers have drowned this year in local lakes and rivers, PA Pocono mountains.
