The Color of Coronavirus: COVID-19 deaths by race and ethnicity in the U.S.

Tracker by APM Research Lab.

Ongoing.

Our ongoing Color of Coronavirus project monitors how and where COVID-19 mortality is inequitably impacting certain communities—to guide policy and community responses. The coronavirus has claimed more than 444,000 American lives through Feb. 2, 2021—more than 89,000 additional deaths since our last update four weeks ago. We have documented the race and ethnicity for 91% of these cumulative deaths in the United States. Even as vaccine distribution ramps up across the U.S., the virus’ recent toll has been devastating for all groups. More than 3,100 Americans have died per day since 2021 dawned.
