In the last decade in Maryland, the proportion of opioid-overdose deaths involving Black people has continually risen, while the proportion involving white people has declined, mirroring nationwide trends. This past year, the disparity has worsened. Drug-related deaths for Black Americans have persistently climbed. Within Maryland, Black people over 55 had more opioid-overdose deaths in 2020 than any other demographic, with 56.6 percent more deaths than white people over 55. It is perhaps no coincidence that nationally, Black people over 55 were 26 percent more likely than white people to lose their jobs between April and October of last year, as the pandemic swept the globe.
