As part of my ongoing research, I’ve mapped U.S. county clusters showing significant spatial variations in COVID-19 mortality trends and relative risk (RR) in CONUS counties between 2020 and 2022. RR > 1 indicates higher mortality than expected, while RR < 1 suggests lower. Notably, counties around NYC show a strong decreasing trend, while regions with RR > 1 continue to face rising mortality rates.
