that compositional variables: depression, poor mental health, median age, and the percentage of people with a high school diploma were positively associated with the rate of drug overdose deaths. On the other hand, contextual variables: the percentage having health insurance, population density, poverty, and median household income were negatively associated with drug overdose deaths.
