Title: Urban and rural differences in coronavirus pandemic preparedness - Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker

URL: https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/brief/urban-and-rural-differences-in-coronavirus-pandemic-preparedness/

Collection: Global Health Events web archive

Description: This brief analyzes variation in hospital bed capacity by region in the U.S. and by metro/non-metro status, and examines metro and non-metro differences in the share of the population that is at increased risk of COVID-19 due to age or health status. Non-metro areas are largely rural, and, even prior to the pandemic, face different challenges in health system capacity, including further travel times for patients and provider shortages.

Collection: Global Health Events web archive

Description: To provide greater insight into the characteristics of people at greater risk of illness if infected with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), this report builds on a prior analysis of higher risk adults in the U.S. to break down these numbers by race/ethnicity and household income in 2018. Among people ages 18-64, American Indian/Alaska Native and black adults are more likely than white adults to be at a higher risk of serious illness due to underlying health conditions and longstanding disparities in health care and other socio-economic factors.
