Trends in Occupancy Rates at Rural and Urban Hospitals.

1. Panel A shows the regression-adjusted occupancy rates at rural and urban hospitals. Occupancy is defined as the percent of beds occupied by COVID and non-COVID patients.

2. Panel B shows the unadjusted percent of rural and urban hospitals with at least 70% of beds occupied in each week.

3. Red circles show hospitalization rates in rural areas. Blue x’s represent hospitalization rates for urban areas. Error bars report 95% confidence intervals on the difference between rural and urban hospitalization rates. Standard errors are clustered at the county level.

4. This figure uses data from the Department of Health and Human Services.
