Abstract
This study examines road risks among residents of deprived neighbourhoods covered by social policy compared with residents of other contiguous neighbourhoods that are socially more privileged. The data used are from accident reports filled in by the police. When these data are brought to the level of the population in the areas studied, the adjusted relative risk for those living in sensitive urban areas compared with those living in other areas is assessed at 1.366 (with a 95% confidence interval from 1.240 to 1.502). Distributions by age and gender are then studied. In the discussion, several hypotheses concerning behaviour, mobility and socio-spatial factors are discussed.
