Found on the web:
Sun correspondent Michelle Gladden (Hi Michelle!) reports that nearby Belmar landed on the bottom of the list. Could that be right?
I clicked on the link she provided to the Consumer Affairs report. They don’t really give you much information though.
Click on the image below to go to the Belmar page:
I think there’s a mistake in the report (which is based statistics from 2014.) For Belmar to have a traffic death rate of 157 per 100,000 population in 2014 we would have to have had 8 or 9 deaths that year. That certainly isn’t right. That terrible accident at the marina where the young lady from Howell died was in 2014, but I think that was the only traffic fatality that year. There certainly weren’t 8 others.
According to City-Data, Belmar had fewer than 1 death per year for the years 1975 to 2013:
Anyway this is a pretty boring post so I’m going to end it. Have a good day.

My guess is they are calling everything zip code 07719 as Belmar.
Probably includes Avon and Wall as Belmar is the postal zip.
