There's a lot of information here that lays the foundation for the analysis to come. It could be improved by honing in on a central question to be answered.
| Opioid analgesics are pain relievers derived from opium or have an opium-like activity. There are no better drugs than opioids for treating severe pain and suffering, however, opioids are the main drugs associated with overdose deaths. Opioid prescription rates have increased almost threefold associated with an increase of opioid related overdoses and deaths in the last 15 years. New York has been greatly impacted by the opioid epidemic. The rate of deaths related to any opioid in New York has increased by 210% from 2010 to 2016. The opioid overdose death rate in the overall state was 18 deaths per 100,000 residents, which was higher than many states in the United States. | ||

The interactivity of the first plot is a great touch, as it allows you to see specific opoid related deaths in each county upon hovering over the points. The plot is also very busy with all NY counties represented and often times overlapping and with very similar coloring. Maybe breaking this up into several plots, each with several counties grouped by region would help to get rid of some of the clutter. Or maybe using facet_wrap(), but that would also create a large number of plots that couldn't be compared to each other as easily.

Overall, a great first draft! The topic was interesting and investigates what is currently a very pressing issue worthy of further exploration.
