Deaths due to drug overdoses, expressed as a rate per 100,000 residents.
In addition to ending a life tragically, a death by drug overdose profoundly affects surviving relatives and friends. Rising drug overdose deaths can reflect increasing rates of addiction, more potent and dangerous substances, inadequate systems to treat and support addicts, and other worrisome trends.
In 2022, the region had a rate of 34 drug poisoning deaths per 100,000 residents in the Mid-Hudson Valley region. This was equal to the national rate and above the state (excluding NYC) rate of 26. Sullivan had the highest rate of drug poisoning deaths in the region at 62 per 100,000 residents, while Greene and Putnam counties (21 and 22, respectively) had the lowest.
Deaths may be accidental or intentional, or this information may be unknown.
