CLEVELAND, Ohio - Cuyahoga County has had 370.9 coronavirus cases per 100,000 people, among the highest rates in the state based on the number of cases reported through Tuesday by the Ohio Department of Health.
Four of the highest rates per capita have been in smaller counties heavily hit by prison outbreaks - Marion, Pickaway, Columbiana and Belmont.
After those four, just six Ohio counties have had more cases per capita than Cuyahoga. They are Mahoning (636.7 per 100,000), Monroe (578.6), Lucas (532.7), Mercer (527.1), Franklin (455.4) and Tuscarawas (382.7).
Statewide, there have been 311 cases per 100,000 people reported to date, with a total of 36,350 cases and 2,258 deaths through Tuesday.
Seventeen of Ohio’s 88 counties have rates above the statewide average.
But counties across much of southern Ohio have had rates of below 100 cases per 100,000 people.
The counties with the largest number of inmate cases through Monday were Marion (2,226), Pickaway (1,730), Columbiana (461), Franklin (225) and Belmont (183). All these except Franklin are under 102,000 in population overall, thus the large impact on a per capita basis.
Here are the cases by county.
