The overdose death rate is double the next worst city. Is Baltimore really that much of an outlier? Does that giant gap show up in other drug use statistics compared to other cities? Because given the dominant role Fentanyl plays in overdose deaths, my first thought is that there must be a suspiciously disproportionate amount of Fentanyl flooding that city to account for the difference.
