COVID-19 race and ethnicity data

Race and ethnicity data

This dashboard shows the impacts of COVID-19 on communities of color in King County.

Over the course of the pandemic, King County residents have experienced racial and ethnic disparities in COVID-19 health outcomes and risk factors, reflected across reported cases, hospitalizations, deaths, and vaccination rates. These differences are due to systemic inequities and the long-term effects of institutional racism, and not because of biological or personal traits.

It is important to be aware of racial and ethnic disparities in COVID-19 risk and outcomes so that Public Health and our community partners can pursue targeted responses to reduce COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, and increase access to COVID-19 vaccinations and other resources.

Key metrics

Explore differences by race/ethnicity in:

  • Current percent with up to date COVID-19 vaccination status
  • Reported COVID-19 cases
  • Hospitalizations due to COVID-19
  • Deaths due to COVID-19.

Why these four metrics? COVID-19 vaccination reduces the risks of serious illness, hospitalization, and death. Tracking reported cases, hospitalizations, and deaths helps to monitor severe outcomes associated with COVID-19.

More information on COVID-19 vaccinations and up to date vaccination status can be found on the COVID-19 vaccination dashboard page. For reported cases, hospitalizations, and deaths due to COVID-19, age-standardized rates are used. Age standardization allows for a more representative comparison between groups since some racial/ethnic groups have more older or younger people. See the About the data page for more information.

Small populations are noted with an asterisk (*). Hover over the visuals for more information.

Abbreviations

AIAN: American Indian/Alaska Native
Asian: Asian
Black: Black/African American
Hispanic: Hispanic/Latino, Latina, or Latinx, of any race
Multi/other: Multi-racial or other race
NHPI: Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander
