yes it is a rate, from the article: "The number of pedestrians killed — 6,283, an increase of 3.4 percent from the previous year".

It may not be the number you are looking for, but it is by definition a rate. It would be interesting to know what rate per pedestrian trips or pedestrian-miles are, but that data would be very hard to get across the entire US.

It's not the rate of drivers that kill pedestrians, as the title claims.

Even accidents/cars would satisfy the title. Those numbers you quote are just meaningless and should be ignored.
