Pittsburgh and Allegheny County have also been hit hard by the opioid crisis. In 2017, at least 652 county residents died from drug overdose. Around 75% of these deaths involved the synthetic opioid fentanyl. Of all the counties across America, Allegheny County ranks third in the number of fentanyl-related deaths.
