"Analyzing the states with the most 911 calls can provide valuable insights into public health and safety concerns. It helps identify areas with potentially higher rates of accidents, crimes, or medical emergencies, allowing us to see which U.S. residents need the most support from the emergency line."
"It's also interesting to note that data from the study reveals that the District of Columbia alone receives the most 911 calls annually on average per 1,000 people compared to all the states, with 73% more calls than first-place New Mexico. D.C.'s average 911 calls per population is equivalent to 2,012 calls."
