Prince George's County has now had more COVID-19 cases than 20 states. [View all]

'On Tuesday, Prince George’s County – an affluent, metropolitan county bordering the nation’s capital – reported its 19,000th case of the coronavirus. That gives it a count higher than 20 states, despite having a smaller population than all but five of them.

Prince George’s is sometimes billed as the wealthiest Black county in America. It is, in fact, one of the Blackest – ranking among the 30 counties in the country with the highest population of Black residents. And it is, on average, wealthier than most of the U.S., with a median household income of $82,000; $20,000 higher than the national median of $62,000.'>>>
