While the majority of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States are found in urban centers, rural areas are not free of cases. As of April 1, 2020, there were a total of 234,040 cases and 5,398 deaths identified in counties (data provided by USAFacts.org), with 8,866 cases and 206 deaths (about 3.8 percent of both) reported in non-metropolitan counties.
This RUPRI data brief shows the current nonmetropolitan and metropolitan spread of the disease, and the associated map shows how the disease has spread over time.
