McClatchy has created searchable and interactive maps showing the number of coronavirus cases and deaths per 1,000 residents throughout Georgia.
The coronavirus data, provided to McClatchy by the Georgia Department of Public Health, shows the total number of cases and deaths for each zip code in the state. The data shows the total number of cases and total deaths as of July 7. McClatchy will continue to request data in an effort to update these maps on a regular basis.
Racial population estimates come from 2018 data from the United States Census Bureau, the most recent estimates available. If you can’t find your zip code listed below, the state health department either reported either no data or zero cases or deaths for that zip code.
COVID-19 Cases
On this map, you can search by your city or zip code. You’ll see the total number of cases in the selected zip code. You’ll also see which racial and ethnicity groups account for different percentages of cases.
It’s important to note racial and ethnic breakdowns shown in both maps do not necessarily demonstrate that a particular group is being disproportionately affected within a zip code. For example, Black residents might account for 80% of the cases in a zip code. But they might also account for 80% of the population.
A little more than 97,000 cases were listed in the data provided by the state, which represents about 64% of the state’s current cases. Racial data is unknown for nearly 40% of the cases in this dataset, and racial data is also unknown for 3.3% of the reported deaths.
