Mortality rate ratio for Black to White populations at the ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) level of residence in Michigan. There were 30 ZCTAs where deaths among Black individuals occurred yet the White COVID-19 mortality rate exceeded the Black mortality rate (green). The Black COVID-19 mortality rate exceeds White mortality rate in 178 ZCTAs (yellow to purple). Dark gray regions indicate ZCTAs where COVID-19 deaths occurred only among one race, Black or White. Light gray regions indicate ZCTAs where no COVID-19 related deaths took place. The inset map represents the Detroit Metropolitan Area and Flint. These mortality rates are based on 5809 COVID-19 deaths among Black and White Michigan residents spread across the state between March 16 and October 26, 2020.
