COVID-19 Case Counts and Rates by ZIP Code

ZIP code-level COVID-19 case data includes Crude Rate per 100,000 and Two-Week Total Cases. This dataset is archived and will no longer be updated after April 1, 2022, when negative test data collection ceased. It originates from data.kcmo.org and was last updated in December 2023.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial disparities in infection rates by comparing Crude Rate per 100,000 across different ZipCode areas.
• Track recent outbreak trends by monitoring changes in the Two-Week Total Cases column for specific ZIP codes.
• Identify areas with suppressed data (marked 'SUPP') for potential small-population statistical analysis.
• Normalize case counts using the provided Crude Rate per 100,000 column, which is based on ACS 5-Year Estimates.

Strengths

• Includes normalized Crude Rate per 100,000 for cross-ZIP code comparison.
• Provides a Two-Week Total Cases metric for tracking recent trends.

Limitations

• Dataset is archived and contains no data after April 1, 2022.
• Case counts for small populations are suppressed ('SUPP'), limiting granular analysis.
• Total residents tested metrics are unavailable due to cessation of negative test data.
