Over the past few months I’ve posted several graphics and charts about heroin abuse in our state. I thought it would be good to put together a brief synopsis, of the various graphs and maps I’ve done.

Heroin abuse doesn’t effect all counties equally, indeed some counties are particularly hard hit.

Overall in the past decade, heroin deaths are up dramatically across the state.

The growth of heroin has displaced the abuse of cocaine and crack in our state.

Despite common myth, drug possession arrests nationally follow closely the racial breakdown, at least in 2015.
