CDC estimates 268.7 heart disease deaths per 100,000 adults ages 35 and older in Sandoval County (age-adjusted, 2022 to 2024), compared with 307.1 for New Mexico and 315.3 nationally.
How many overdose deaths were there in Sandoval County?

What do the heart disease and stroke death rates measure?
They are age-adjusted deaths per 100,000 adults ages 35 and older, averaged over three years, from CDC's Interactive Atlas of Heart Disease and Stroke. County rates are spatially smoothed by CDC to make small-county estimates more stable.
Are the drug overdose death counts final?
No. They are provisional 12-month counts from the National Center for Health Statistics. Recent months are often undercounted because some death investigations take months to complete. County counts from 1 to 9 deaths are suppressed by NCHS to protect privacy.
Where does life expectancy by state come from?
Life expectancy at birth comes from NCHS U.S. State Life Tables, based on death certificates and population estimates. It describes the average for everyone born in a state in that year, not the outlook for any one person.
