Got to looking up crime data in my home city of Northampton--the only readily available incident-level data is for hate crimes and overdoses. I took a look at the latter (which only covers *unintentional* overdoses as of 2017)...

Only 21 of those who overdosed were residents of Northampton proper, 5 were from Florence and 2 were from Leeds ("villages" within Northampton that have separate ZIP codes). The remaining 8 were all from different towns in the region, coming as far as from Pittsfield and Erving.

Narcan was available in 23 of the incidents, however, 2 of those 23 incidents still resulted in deaths. The youngest overdose was 21 years old, the oldest was 59. The mean age was 38, and the median age was 36.

Overdoses by age bracket: - 8 were in their 20s - 13 were in their 30s - 8 were in their 40s - 7 were in their 50s

This covers all *unintentional* overdoses during 2017. I might look at 2016 (which includes intentional ODs and suicide attempts) later for comparison, but I'm all set for now.
