10,952 overdose deaths in 2022. That means that for every 100,000 people living in California, 28 died of drug overdose. This was the highest the drug overdose death rate has been in the state since data from 1999 became available. Unadjusted data about the nation is a useful starting point, but age-adjusted data tells a more complete story. More @Wikipedia
