# United States drug overdose death rates and totals over time

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides data on drug overdose death rates and totals in the United States. From 1968 to 2020, approximately 1,106,900 U.S. residents died from drug overdoses, with the majority – around 932,400 – of those deaths occurring between 1999 and 2020.
Recent years. Updated often. Crude rate per 100,000. July 1 population. :
| Year | Deaths | Population | Crude rate |
| 2023 | 110,000 | 336,810,000 | 32.8 |
| 2022 | 112,600 | 333,820,000 | 33.7 |
| 2021 | 110,700 | 332,000,000 | 33.3 |
| 2020 | 95,100 | 331,580,000 | 28.7 |
Of the roughly 110,700 drug overdose deaths in 2021, opioids were involved in about 80,400, or nearly 73%, of cases, with synthetic opioids other than methadone (primarily fentanyl) involved in around 70,600, or nearly 64%, of the deaths.
Around 86,900 people died in the 12-month period ending September 30, 2024, at a rate of 237 deaths per day. That is 25.6 deaths per 100,000 US residents, using the population at the midpoint of that period. The CDC's "predicted value" is used for all the above yearly numbers in the intro. CDC: "Predicted provisional counts represent estimates of the number of deaths adjusted for incomplete reporting (see Technical Notes)." And the above yearly numbers are updated regularly here as they change.

## 1968–2022

The numbers at the source for the table below are continually updated. So the numbers in the table below may be slightly different. 2021 was a turning point in US history with over 100,000 deaths.
* Rates below are per 100,000.
* Population is for July 1 residents.
* Rate (by itself) is Age adjusted.
* Total (at bottom) is 1,106,859 total deaths for 1968–2020.
