Age-adjusted drug overdose death rates involving cocaine, by HHS region, 2021. Figure: CDC, National Center for Health Statistics.
East versus west
Using the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regions:
- Regions 1–5, mostly east of the Mississippi River, had higher rates.
- Regions 6–10, west of the Mississippi, had lower rates.
| Extreme | Region | States | Rate per 100,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Highest | Region 1 | Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont | 14.8 |
| Lowest | Region 10 | Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Washington | 2.3 |
How the rates were counted
- Deaths: underlying cause of death coded X40–X44, X60–X64, X85 or Y10–Y14 in the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, with cocaine (T40.5) among the multiple causes.
- Age adjustment: the direct method, using the 2000 U.S. population.
- Territories: the rates for Region 2 (New York and New Jersey) and Region 9 (Arizona, California, Hawaii and Nevada) leave out territories and associated states.
