Critical gap

Treatment slots

Funded or available treatment capacity in this region right now. This is the "supply" side of the gap.

Estimated need

Estimated people needing treatment, derived by the open method shown below. A region total — never a list of individuals.

300

People short

Unmet need: max(0, need − slots). The number of added slots that would fully close this region's gap.

260

Access gap
?
Access-gap score
The share of estimated need that current capacity does not cover: `round(max(0, need − slots) ÷ need × 100)`. 0% means need is fully met; higher means worse access. It never divides by zero — a region with no estimated need shows a 0% gap.

87%

of estimated need is currently unmet.

Open methodology

ER overdose-visit rate (CDC WONDER) scaled to treatment-eligible.

Need estimates are region totals only. No individual is represented, queried, or stored. Gap = max(0, need − slots) ÷ need.
