The interactive map and tables below displays opioid data for Alabama aggregated by community, based on DEA ARCOS data obtained by the Washington Post. Alabama has 14 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). Nine are based on large cities and the other five are based on clusters of two or three smaller cities that are in close proximity. A community is also classified by the US Census Bureau as either a city, a town, or a place. For an overview of our project and for definitions and instructions, see the Introduction.
The map shows Alabama as a base layer. Click on the state to see summary information. Alabma communities can be added or removed as an overlay using the layer control. Points in green are cities; points in brown are towns; and points in yellow are places. Click on a community to see summary information. The MSAs can also be added as an overlay using the layer control. Click on an MSA for summary information.
