Figure 4 contains the weekly rate of death by metropolitan status. Metropolitan status is based on the 2013 National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Urban-Rural Classification Scheme for Counties (To access the data Click here to download. Notes Race and Hispanic-origin categories are based on the 1997 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) revised standards for the collection and reporting of race. Race and Hispanic origin are two distinct attributes and are reported separately on the death certificate. Therefore, data shown by Hispanic origin and race are based on a combination of the two attributes for the non-Hispanic population. Data shown for the Hispanic population include persons of any race. The race and Hispanic-origin groups shown —non-Hispanic single-race white, non-Hispanic single-race black or African American, non-Hispanic single-race American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN), and non-Hispanic single-race Asian—differ from the bridged-race categories shown in reports using mortality data for years prior to 2018. for additional information. Unweighted population distributions along with comparison between the distribution of deaths and each of the population distributions are provided. The unweighted distributions show the observed percent of the population that falls into each race and Hispanic origin group, either for a given state or in the United States overall. These unweighted distributions can be used to obtain a crude (unadjusted) estimate of the percent of COVID-19 deaths experienced by some groups relative to their observed percent of the population. Adjustments to the population distributions: use county-level data to more closely align the population distributions with the specific areas where COVID-19 deaths were occurring. To account for the geographic clustering of COVID-19 deaths, weighted population distributions, which more closely matched the areas initially most affected by COVID-19 deaths, were provided in order to reflect differential risk within the areas most affected by COVID-19 deaths. As the pandemic has become more widespread across the U.S., there is less need to align the population distributions with the specific geographic areas experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks and mortality. While weighted estimates are no longer included in the data visualization, the estimates can still be found in Table 1 and in the downloadable <....www.pinterest.com" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Snapchat
