The total number of deaths from drug poisoning, including both illicit and prescription drugs. Drug poisoning data are from CDC's Detailed Cause of Death data and includes ICD-10 codes X40-X44, X60-X64, X85, and Y10-Y14. This includes both opioid and non-opioid drug poisonings, since the CDC reports that due to variable levels of completeness on death certificates only 28 states have high enough quality of data to report drug-specific poisoning data. Data not available for Puerto Rico. All sub-national data representing zero to nine (0-9) deaths are suppressed. Corresponding sub-national denominator population figures are also suppressed when the population represents fewer than 10 persons. State-level estimates include suppressed values; as such, county and district estimates may not sum to state value.
