Massachusetts' opioid overdose death rates fell across every demographic group from 2022 to 2025.

Opioid overdose death rates per 100,000 and percent change, 2022 to 2025.

Note: Percent change is calculated from the rate of opioid deaths in 2022 compared to 2025; Absolute changes in opioid overdose death rates for the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) group were small, so the percent decline shown may look disproportionately large compared to other groups. The same caveat applies to the under 20 group; AAPI, America Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN), Black, and White do not include Latino.
