> Results: From March 2020 to May 2023, OD deaths exceeded baseline by 67 571 (24.4 %). Sustained elevation was positively associated with income (β ≈ 0.96), fentanyl seizures, unemployment, and COVID-19 case rates, and inversely with methadone distribution. Three short lived spikes aligned with EIP disbursements [stimulus checks], raising daily deaths by up to 85 above trend. A 10 % rise in relative income increased OD mortality 11 %; national checking balance surges and OD deaths were tightly correlated (r ≈ 0.90).
