One in 10 black Americans are close with someone who has died of COVID-19

Three COVID Impact surveys find that black Americans are more likely than white Americans to say a family member or close friend who has died from COVID-19 or a respiratory illness since the start of the pandemic.

Data for African Americans not available in New York because of insufficient sample size. Analysis based on three surveys conducted between April and June using samples drawn from NORC's probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population.
