Peer Finder Working draft · counties Addiction Action

Find counties like yours

Pick your county. We rank the other 3,143 by how close they are on overdose deaths, opioid prescribing, health, money and size. Then see what the closest ones look like side by side.

How it works

Each stat turns into where a county stands among all counties (its percentile). Two counties are as close as their standings, so one giant county can't stretch the scale. The criteria you pick set how much each stat counts. Ranks read "#3 of 119"; there is no "% match", because a mix of different measures doesn't add up to one.

The method comes from the MMA Data Hub's Find Peer Communities and WageNav's peer cohorts. Sources are listed under each stat (ⓘ). Overdose counts of 1 to 9 are suppressed by CDC; we count them as 5, so rates for small counties are rough.
