We all know that obtaining archival data can be challenging. The CDC’s new dashboard may fill in some of the gaps some communities are experience.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released the Mapping Injury, Overdose, and Violence Dashboard, a new web-based resource that provides localized data tracking unintentional overdose, suicide, homicide, and firearm-related death rates across the country. The interactive dashboard displays data “…down to the census tract level using provisional and final death data reported from states.” Users can access State and county data beginning in 2019, with the most recent updates available through November 2024.
