(per 100,000 population)
Notes: "Rates were not calculated when there were fewer than 15 deaths for a particular group. Rates for Indigenous and Pacific Islander residents could only be calculated for some states. Additionally, rates were not calculated for those identified as “Other” race. All intervals are two weeks apart. Data for 12/22, 1/19 and 2/16 has been interpolated. Users are cautioned that both estimates of deaths and rates graphed over time have slight idiosyncrasies including occasional reductions. We capture data at a point in time, after which provisional data sometimes gets back-revised by states after review. E.g. Tennessee's count of Latino deaths was downwardly revised from 288 on 1/5 to 274 on 2/2, resulting in a declining (corrected) rate. Data for states that post only percentages are more prone to rounding errors, as we have had to estimate number of deaths. For these reasons, all data should be considered approximate. Some states have changed their treatment of ethnicity over time."
