Among them: Hispanics make up an increasing proportion of covid-19 deaths. In recent weeks, Hispanics and Native Americans have made up an increasing proportion of covid-19 deaths. In Florida, California and Arizona, Hispanics consistently made up a disproportionate share of covid-19 deaths in June and early July. (The federal data about age and gender among covid-19 deaths were not broken down at the state level over time, so those demographic factors were not included in the analysis.) And in New Mexico, where Native Americans are 9 percent of the population, they make up 75 percent of the state’s deaths.
