RTCs
Variable Importance
- As with vehicle fires, the most important factor for predicting the category of Very Low to Very High risk for RTCs is the Total Street Length (km).
- Other geographical and population variables are of importance.
- The assessment of RTCs was based on the LSOA in which the RTC occurred.
- Stats19 data for the home locations of persons involved in RTCs was not available for Nottinghamshire; this would be a potential improvement to the assessment of RTC risk.

Predicted Risk Cluster

- Using the top ranked risk variables, the model predicts the risk level in each LSOA.
- This map summarises the output in terms of whether each LSOA is most likely to be Very Low to Very High risk.
- Most of the highest risk LSOAs are in rural areas.
