The higher prevalence of COVID-19 in nonmetro manufacturing-dependent counties is due partly to higher cumulative COVID-19 case rates in meatpacking-dependent counties (those in which 20 percent or more of employment is in the meatpacking industry), almost all of which are manufacturing-dependent counties. However, even excluding meatpacking-dependent counties, COVID-19 case rates are highest in nonmetro manufacturing-dependent counties. Among nonmetro counties, the highest cumulative COVID-19 case rates are found in manufacturing-dependent and farming-dependent counties. The Economic Research Service (ERS) classifies counties by economic type, based primarily on the dependence of employment and earnings on specific types of industries. Higher COVID-19 prevalence is also associated with some industries, particularly in nonmetro counties. Higher COVID-19 case rates have been observed in certain minority populations, including Hispanics/Latinos and American Indian/Alaska Natives, according to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The rate of increase of cumulative COVID-19 cases peaked in early January 2021 and has since declined in both metro and nonmetro areas.ĭownload higher resolution chart (3986 pixels by 3746, 600 dpi) Since then, the prevalence of cumulative COVID-19 cases has been greater in nonmetro areas, although beginning in April 2021, the prevalence of cumulative COVID-19 cases has been very similar in metro and nonmetro areas. In per capita terms, the prevalence of cumulative COVID-19 cases was greater in metro than in nonmetro areas until late October 2020.
The virus initially spread most rapidly to large metro areas, and most confirmed cases have been in metro areas with populations of at least 1 million. Spread of the Pandemic to Rural AmericaĬOVID-19 has spread to nearly every nation in the world, and to every State and inhabited county in the United States. Recent county-level evidence on the prevalence of COVID-19 and local unemployment and employment rates, while no means a complete picture, provides indication of the spread of the virus and ensuing economic recession across the United States (see the note on data sources). The analysis of COVID-19 prevalence presented below focuses on cumulative COVID-19 case rates and not on recent or active cases.
