Zhuoxi Township road accident hotspots and casualties
From 2024/01 to 2026/08, Zhuoxi Township recorded 21 casualty road accidents, 1 deaths and 26 injured, which is 0.1% of Hualien County.
Zhuoxi Township recorded only 21 accidents across these 32 months (records in 15 of them). The counts and casualty figures are actual records and can be quoted directly. The percentages, hourly distribution and rankings derived from them swing wildly at this sample size — one more or one fewer accident changes the result — so they should not be used to rank this area against others.
Zhuoxi Township averaged 0.7 accidents a month over this period. Within a day the peak hour is 16, at 14.3% of the total; the night hours from 22:00 to 05:00 account for 14.3%; weekends account for 38.1%.
Motorcycles account for 34.2% of parties involved. There were 1 deaths in this period. With numbers that small it is not meaningful to convert to a death rate and compare with other areas — a single accident moves it by several times.
Roads appearing most often in Zhuoxi Township
Counted by road names appearing in the accident address. Where the address is written as a junction (“A Rd / B Rd”), both roads are counted once.

| Provincial Highway 30 | 2 | |
| Taipingshang Rd. | 1 | |
| Hua68xian0k Rd. | 1 | |
| Zhuole41haoqian Rd. | 1 |
Long roads and busy roads naturally rank high. This is where accidents happened, not danger per kilometre. Road names are automatic romanisation, not official signage.

Months with no recorded accidents are not listed.
The National Police Agency refreshes its rolling data on the 1st and 15th of each month, so the last month is still being filled in and will always read low. Do not compare it with earlier months.

How to read these numbers
More accidents does not mean more dangerous. Places with more traffic, longer roads and denser population naturally record more. This data has no traffic volume to divide by, so a rate per ten thousand vehicle passes cannot be computed; it can only tell you where accidents actually happened.
The road ranking counts road names appearing in the address. In Taiwan 26% of accident addresses are written as a reference point along a road rather than an exact position, so this ranking is reliable at the level of a road but not at the level of a junction.
Only A1 and A2 accidents, which involve casualties, are included. Property-damage-only collisions are not, so the real number of collisions is higher.
