This week I thought I would take a look at mortality in nursing homes (or Long Term Care Facilities (LTCF)) in Pennsylvania. Statewide, nursing home deaths account for 52.1% of the total coronavirus deaths. Looking at the county level there is considerable variability in the rates where the 10 counties with the highest rates are […]
With the COVID-19 vaccine rollout the state now provides data for full and partial vaccinations at the county level. I have looked at the rates of full vaccinations (the number of individuals who received both shots). After adjusting the numbers for population, Montour County had by far the highest rate of full vaccinations at […]
The trend in Covid-19 Cases in Cambria County Last week I posted on how county health rankings overall measures predicted the number of cases and deaths in each county in Pennsylvania. These measures were composites of dozens of more specific county level measures. There are too many univariate correlations to summarize here. The cases used […]
The number of corona virus cases has grown exponentially in Cambria County. I have been keeping track of the number of cases in a google sheet as can be seen above. The cumulative case line has been following a cubic trend with the polynomial, y = 0.0347×2 – 3051.6x + 7E+07. This equation accounts for […]
I thought I would take a break from Corona Virus numbers to talk about other numbers that I have covered over the years: County Health Rankings and the the Southern Poverty Law Centers annual count of hate groups in the US. On the surface they are unrelated but because both happens in Pennsylvania and the […]
Four years ago I showed that a candidate’s following on Facebook predicted their support in the polls at this point four years ago. It predicted 70.6% of the variability for Republicans and 75.6% of it for Democrats. I thought I would lake a look at how the candidates fare with Facebook and Twitter in the Democratic […]
In response to the horrific shootings in El Paso, TX and Dayton, OH, I saw the graph below from Vox showing the correlation between gun ownership and gun deaths. The graph was used on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Monday right after the shootings in the above clip. It shows that the US is an […]
Morning Consult Map of Trump Net Approval Ratings Last week The Southern Poverty Law Center came out with its annual hate group estimates for each state. I commented on how they produced a hate map with the numbers. You can see how Trump’s net approval rating in the map above corresponds the the population adjusted […]
Since 2011 I used web traffic analytics websites to track the traffic on this site. Blogger has a built in traffic monitor that doesn’t filter out bots that inflate the web traffic estimates. I also use Google Analytics and Statcounter. Google Adsense also measures web traffic to determine ad revenue. I thought I would take […]
