    "Each map plots a county's mean annual modeled rate for 2019 to 2023. A county is drawn when CDC publishes a stable rate in each of the five years; gray hatched counties have a year in which CDC marks the rate unstable (fewer than {fact:w_floor} deaths and no stable model) or, for two Alaska areas that did not exist in 2019, no row, and the tooltip says which. The overdose map has {fact:p_od_n} counties with a rate, the suicide map {fact:p_su_n} and the homicide map {fact:p_hm_n}, and they hold {fact:p_od_pop}, {fact:p_su_pop} and {fact:p_hm_pop} of residents.",
    "These are CDC modeled estimates, which borrow strength across counties where deaths are few, so the WONDER floor of {fact:map_floor} pooled deaths does not apply here; it applies to the maps of WONDER counts in Figure 4. CDC publishes counts under {fact:w_floor} as ranges, and the tooltip gives the lowest and highest five-year totals those ranges allow. Overdose is unintentional or undetermined-intent drug overdose, so it leaves out overdoses recorded as suicides; suicide and homicide include every method. Rates are crude, not age-adjusted. The panel's 2024 values are provisional and left out.",
    "Connecticut's eight counties are gray because CDC's county file does not carry them. Puerto Rico is not drawn. Alaska is drawn."
