Active Covid-19 cases per 100,000
persons for Montana’s counties
The graph below, which plots the number of active Covid-19 cases per 100,000 persons, produces some surprises. Missoula and Gallatin, Montana’s second and third most populous counties, have an active case rate well below Montana’s 1,500 per 100K average, while Wilbaux, Prairie, and Judith Basin, three of Montana’s least populous counties, are above average.
The highest active cases per 100K counties are Yellowstone, Cascade, Silver Bow, Flathead, and Lewis and Clark.
I scraped the data off Montana’s Covid-19 website. The number of active cases (total cases minus the sum of recoveries and deaths), varies daily. Montana does not publish the historical record, but should, and should publish it at the county and zip code level.
