Special Report
This is the County in the Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN Metro Area With the Most COVID-19
Published:
As the delta variant continues to surge, COVID-19 continues to spread through the population. To date, there have been 42,301,000 reported cases of the virus nationwide — and that number is growing every day.
In the Cincinnati metropolitan area, which covers parts of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, a total of 273,833 COVID-19 cases have been reported to date. Adjusted for population, there have been 12,626 reported infections for every 100,000 people in the area — in line with the national rate of 12,929 cases per 100,000 people.
Even though COVID-19 infections per capita are in line with the national average across Cincinnati , there are parts of the metro area where this is not the case.
The broader Cincinnati metro area comprises 15 counties or county equivalents, which can include independent cities — and of them, Dearborn County has the most COVID-19 cases per capita. So far, there have been a total of 7,622 infections in Dearborn County, or 15,398 for every 100,000 people.
Not only does Dearborn County have the most COVID-19 infections per capita in the Cincinnati area, it also has more deaths attributable to the virus per capita than the metro area as a whole. There have been a total of 180 coronavirus deaths for every 100,000 people in Dearborn County, compared to 157 COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 across the entire Cincinnati metro area.
