23,532 records (13.9%) carry no state of residence and are excluded from every per-state chart below. The state figures therefore sum to 145,362, not 168,894 — the two reconcile once the unattributed records are added back.

Distribution

Where cases were reported

Counts are absolute, so they track population as much as transmission. Cumulative incidence divides by each state's population, which is what makes states comparable.

Cumulative incidence by state

Cases as a percentage of each state's 2022 population projection. This is what makes small states with concentrated outbreaks visible.
