Adjusting mortality numbers for total U.S. population—measured as
crude deaths per 100,000 residents—reveals a major difference between
the two trends:
• Drug Overdose Rate: Even after accounting for population growth
(which more than doubled since 1950), the overdose death rate
increased nearly 13-fold between 1968 and 2022, peaking above 32
deaths per 100,000 people before dropping sharply.
• Suicide Rate: Unlike raw death totals that climbed almost
continuously, the per-capita suicide rate remained remarkably stable
between 10.4 and 12.4 per 100,000 for half a century (1950–2000)
before rising to modern highs near 14.8 per 100,000.
===================
bottom line - ODs up 1300% - suicides up 30% ish
