Published by Hubbub World — health risk data for all US states and counties. Get the bub app for today's data and 30-day forecasts.

COVID-19 risk levels are calculated using a combination of reported case data, wastewater surveillance, and epidemiological modeling. Prevalence represents the estimated number of active infections per 100,000 population. Risk scores (0–10 scale) account for transmission dynamics, variant activity, and local healthcare capacity.

Data is updated daily for risk scores and weekly for prevalence trends. County-level maps are generated from state health department reports and CDC surveillance data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is COVID-19?
COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by SARS-CoV-2. It spreads primarily through respiratory droplets and can range from asymptomatic to severe. Hubbub World's COVID-19 risk score reflects the modeled burden of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in a given area, validated against CDC and HHS surveillance data.
How is COVID-19 risk measured in Washington?
COVID-19 risk in Washington is reported as a weekly score on a four-point scale: Low, Moderate, High, and Very High. The score reflects the modeled burden of COVID-19 across the state, validated against public health data from CDC, HHS, NOAA, and other authoritative sources. Methodology details are available at https://www.hubbubworld.com/intelligence#methodology.
What methodology does Hubbub World use to calculate COVID-19 risk?
Hubbub World develops proprietary models on top of the underlying surveillance, environmental, and weather data to produce comparable risk scores across all U.S. counties. Each of the seven risks is reported on a four-point scale (Low, Moderate, High, Very High) so the scores are interpretable without needing the raw underlying numbers. The full methodology — including the modeling approach, validation against authoritative sources, and known limitations — is documented at https://www.hubbubworld.com/intelligence#methodology.
