Coronavirus Death Rate Is Getting Worse In Black Communities

In counties where the majority of residents are Black, "the death rate has climbed to 3.5 times the national average, up from roughly three times as high in May," according to ongoing analysis of Johns Hopkins University and Census Bureau data by Bloomberg News.

The study also found that in places where African Americans exceed 13.4% of the population, "the proportion they make up of the U.S., the death rate is double the national average, also a slight uptick from two months ago."
