Summary

The COVID Racial Data Tracker has gathered comprehensive race and ethnicity data on COVID-19 cases and deaths in the United States, highlighting significant disparities between Black Americans and the rest of the US population. These disparities are reflected in mortality risk calculations, which show that Black Americans face a 1.5 times higher mortality rate than the general population, with varying levels of risk across different states. The data also reveals that despite being predominantly White, some counties with high COVID-19 death rates are predominantly Black, suggesting underlying factors contributing to these disparities.
