Residents across Appalachia are 55 percent more likely to die from a drug overdose than people in the rest of the country, but the disparity is even higher in some Eastern Kentucky counties.

In Leslie County, for instance, the overdose death rate is five times the national average.

Several other Eastern Kentucky counties had rates many times the national level, including Floyd, at 95.1; Bell, 92.3; Knott, 84.4; and Harlan, 54.3. In West Virginia, the overdose death rate topped 150 in two counties.

There also were high rates in some counties that are included in the ARC region, but are not traditionally thought of as being Appalachian counties. Clark County, for instance, had an average overdose-death rate of 52.3.
