In the Indianapolis-Carmel-Anderson metropolitan area, located in Indiana, a total of 521,432 COVID-19 cases have been reported to date. Adjusted for population, there have been 25,974 reported infections for every 100,000 people in the area — in line with the national rate of 26,186 cases per 100,000 people.
Though per capita cases of COVID-19 are closely in line with the national per capita infection rate in Indianapolis-Carmel-Anderson, there are still parts of the metro area where the per capita infection rate is relatively low.

Though Brown County has the lowest per capita infection rate in the Indianapolis metro area, its per capita fatality rate is disproportionately high.
