[View by county](https://www.precisionforcoviddata.org/?metricId=ccvi&geoLevel=county&fipsCode=48&focusLevel=state&focusFips=48) WHAT MAKES THIS AREA VULNERABLE Minorities & non-English speakers Language barriers can restrict access to public health messaging and resources. Data on COVID has demonstrated that racial and ethnic minorities are often at the highest risk of poor medical outcomes. Very high Unemployment & low income Financial insecurity, lack of access to health care, or the inability to work remotely or with protections and benefits increases vulnerability to severe COVID outcomes. Very high Health system challenges Hospital bed availability, access to pharmacies, and the amount of healthcare spending per capita within a region, among other factors, can indicate the limited capacity of healthcare systems to respond to COVID. Very high Crowded living & working areas High-risk environments, such as prisons, nursing homes, or factories, significantly contribute to a person's exposure to and vulnerability to the virus. High Population density Higher population density has been demonstrated to increase the risk of quick viral spread and adverse health outcomes. High Housing and transport challenges Crowded housing, housing insecurity, access to indoor plumbing and limited transit options make it more difficult to avoid COVID exposure. High Older age & health issues High-risk groups (per CDC guidelines) such as elderly adults or people with pre-existing conditions have experienced more severe health outcomes throughout the pandemic.
