These data charts provide a snapshot of comparative data for the City of Richmond and State of Virginia for certain public health issues.

Another dramatic increase is reflected by the opioid data chart, which shows fentanyl and/or heroin overdose mortality rates. Sharing this data helps raise awareness of some of the multiple factors which impact the health of our community.
