This Is the County in the Montgomery, AL Metro Area With the Most COVID-19
Published:
There have been 81,417,100 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States to date – and that number continues to grow.
In the Montgomery metropolitan area, located in Alabama, a total of 97,157 cases of COVID-19 have been reported. Adjusted for population, there have been 26,006 confirmed infections for every 100,000 people in the area — in line with the national rate of 24,885 cases per 100,000 people.
Even though COVID-19 infections per capita are in line with the national average across Montgomery , there are parts of the metro area where this is not the case.

So far, there have been a total of 23,410 confirmed infections in Elmore County, or 28,826 for every 100,000 people.
A relatively high infection rate does not necessarily mean COVID-19 related fatalities per capita are higher in Elmore County than they are across all of the Montgomery area, however.
