Here and elsewhere, minorities bear brunt of COVID-19 crisis
EVERETT — The coronavirus crisis has hit Snohomish County’s people of color harder than white residents, data from the local health district suggest.
Case rates among Hispanics and Pacific Islanders were more than double that of white or Asian people, the Snohomish Health District found when epidemiologists reviewed roughly half of some 2,400 cases the district has logged.
Incidence was highest among Hispanic people, with about 207 cases per 100,000 people, and lowest among white people, with around 85 cases per 100,000 people.
Case rates per 100,000 people were as follows for other racial and ethnic groups: about 197 for native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders; 165 for American Indians and Alaska natives; 157 for African Americans and 93 for people with Asian heritage.
