A Better Approach to Comparing and Assessing State-Level COVID-19 Data Reporting
We’re replacing state letter grades with detailed and explanatory assessments of each state’s data.
The State of the States’ Data
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, US states and territories have released more and more data. While there are still notable gaps in the data, the quality of the data offered by the states has improved dramatically.
We’re Launching a New State Grading System
We're rolling out a new, more rigorous system for grading the public health data each state reports. This new scoring system sets a more comprehensive and exact standard for evaluating how complete and meaningful each state’s data is.
