Opioid Dispensing Rate Maps

While not a primary driver of drug overdose in the United States currently, prescription opioids do contribute to opioid-related deaths. The data in the maps show the geographic distribution in the United States, at both the state and county level, of retail pharmacy-dispensed opioid prescriptions per 100 persons per year from 2019–2022. Data are displayed within two types of interactive maps that show the estimated rate of opioid prescriptions per 100 U.S. residents. The state maps portray the rates per year for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The county maps portray these rates for approximately 98% of U.S. counties represented in the IQVIA data for a given year from 2019-2022.
