Cleveland drivers go about 7.9 years between reported collisions among motorists, according to Allstate claims data.
By the numbers: Boston (3.1 years), Washington, D.C., (3.9) and Baltimore (4.2) drivers go the fewest years between reported collisions.
- Drivers in Brownsville, Texas (about 14.2 years); Boise, Idaho (13.9) and Fort Collins, Colorado (13.4), meanwhile, enjoy the longest average stretches of collision-free driving.
- The national average is about 10.6 years.
How it works: Allstate's report is based on 2022-2023 claims data and defines collisions as incidents resulting in property or collision damage claims.
- That means minor fender benders that go unreported — as common in city driving as potholes and work zones — aren't captured here.
- The findings are based on where drivers live, not necessarily where incidents happen.
