Maureen Mullarkey Data Sketch 2


This graph shows all COVID-19 deaths by race in Nevada. While whites make up 50 percent of the populations, and yet make up 51 percent of COVID deaths. Blacks or African Americans alone make up 8 percent of the population, yet make up 12 percent of deaths. Also, Asians make up 8 percent of the population, yet make up 12 percent of deaths.

For a story, I would like to investigate why these racial groups all have death percentages higher than their own population percentage.
