Definition

Drug overdose deaths that occurred in the area during the 12 months ending in the month shown. The value for March 2026 covers April 2025 through March 2026. Underlying cause of death coded X40 to X44, X60 to X64, X85 or Y10 to Y14 (ICD-10).

United States: CDC National Vital Statistics System provisional counts, as reported, not the predicted counts CDC also publishes. Recent months are incomplete and usually rise as death records arrive; periods without final data are marked provisional. Deaths are counted where they occurred. The national figure covers the 50 states and DC. CDC publishes New York City separately; the New York State value is the sum of New York City and the rest of the state. Consecutive months overlap by 11 months, so they must not be added together.
