Infections by group
The distribution of confirmed COVID-19 cases reveals significant disparities within California’s overall racial and ethnic demographics, with Latino and Native Hawaiian / Pacific Islander groups having a disproportionate number of cases relative to their population in the state. Additional COVID-19 race and ethnicity data is available.
Note: Percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding. Ethnicity is only available for a subset of the total number of deaths as reported by law enforcement.
