Give Us the Option to Sort Cases/Deaths on a Per Capita Basis

[coreymcentyre]

I know many others have requested Per Capita data. Once it is included, could you make it an option to sort when viewing top cases or top deaths so we can really get an understanding of what areas are not performing well relative to the rest of their comparative areas (States/Counties/Countries/etc) when taking available population into account? Seeing our largest states or largest counties doesn't really show where the problem areas lie.

Hello,

Thank you for your comment. For clarity, are you requested an alteration to the data files or the visualization on the dashboard?

My interest was to have that ability via the dashboard visualization interface. I know a lot of folks are doing their own data analysis, but as a simple end user (and someone who uses your site to get those skeptics to look at the data themselves) it would be tremendously helpful.

I live in Maine and due to our small rural population we look great (at a glance), but I feel confident that on a per capita basis we don't have much to pat ourselves on the back about. ;)

The site is amazing and several "I've done my research" types have been swayed after digging into the interface. I just think I could get my in laws in Oklahoma (who took their position on the list as "everything is awesome") to be more cautious with my granddaughter if they had a better understanding of where they stood.

Kudos to all developers and data geeks for putting this together!

Hi, @coreymcentyre ! The dashboard does support other types of rankings at the country and state levels: incidence rate (cases normalized by population) and case-fatality ratio. Just click on the tabs below the map. Below is an example of the incidence map and list.

So, how do I see US states ranked for cases or deaths on a per capita basis? Same process but with the united states selected before clicking below?

Hello, @coreymcentyre! As the state ranking by incidence is not available for now, I would recommend a workaround: the mobile version, where all state-related information is listed under the "US" tab (though they are still ordered by the cases in the past 28 days). I hope this can provide you with more insights on the covid.

@coreymcentyre there are other resources for Deaths per capita:

For US States : https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covid19-death-rates-us-by-state/ Noting that OK (my home state) is number 6 as of today while ME is number 50.

For Countries : https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deaths-worldwide-per-million-inhabitants/

JHU has a State per capita case tracker here: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/new-cases-50-states

The above are built and maintained by groups of people with access to slick visual tools etc. I'm just a data nerd 'Army of One' using free tools and threw together my own Deaths per capita reporting site last year using the daily JHU datasets. https://rankingc19.com

Admittedly a little rough around the edges and could use some touching up I've moved on to other projects so it is what it is. Designed and written more for myself than the general public since I too had an interest in sorting, slicing and dicing deaths per capita and most state level dashboards or even JHU didn't cover it so I just made my own.

Since you mentioned Oklahoma and Maine here are the direct links, which also include a county level breakdown chart and map. https://rankingc19.com/ok.html where death rate is currently 1 in 332 (301.0 per 100K) https://rankingc19.com/me.html is currently 1 in 985 (101.5 per 100K)

The site is only deaths per capita - for cases refer to the JHU site above.

Hope that helps.
