Monterey County is one 13 mid-sized counties in California, defined for the purposes of this data presentation as a county whose populations is between 200,000 and 700,000 residents. The list includes the Central Coast but also other similarly sized counties elsewhere in California.
When comparing the total number of Covid-19 cases over time, it can be helpful to group these 13 together, and leave out larger places like Los Angeles County with its 10 million residents or Sierra County with its 3,00 residents.
As the data visualization above shows, Monterey County started out with one of the smallest cases counts among the bunch. But in May and June, the coronavirus spread more rapidly here, propelling Monterey County closer to the top.
