There is something obviously wrong or at least strange with the data that backs that map. Look at the contrast across the border between Tennessee and Georgia or between West Virginia and Virginia. I think some states must be under-reporting things or reporting them differently. I would expect such a map to track poverty maps or unemployment maps, but it does not.

Correct. States have a great deal of variance when it comes to tracking overdose deaths.
