Cobb COVID Zip Code Map

Last Saturday, we posted with an update showing 650 positive tests (cumulative) in the five ZIP codes in East Cobb.

As of Wednesday afternoon, that number had grown to 696, according to figures posted by Cobb and Douglas Public Health.

Here’s a link to a hover map (screenshot above) that tracks the number of cases by each ZIP Code and contains related data.

Two ZIP Codes in East Cobb have more than 200 positive cases each. The biggest number of cases continue to be in ZIP Codes in Marietta and South Cobb. The figures do not break down the number of hospitalizations or deaths by ZIP Code.

The figures below show the number of cases in East Cobb, with Wednesday’s figures next to the ZIP Code, and last Friday’s totals in parenthesis:

• 30067: 205 (192)
• 30062: 203 (180)
• 30066: 156 (150)
• 30068: 116 (113)
• 30075: 16 (15)

The totals are compiled by the Georgia Department of Public Health, State Electronic Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (SENDSS) but do not include the number of deaths by ZIP Code.

As of Thursday afternoon, Cobb County has 3,751 confirmed cases of COVID-19 overall, 224 total deaths and 790 hospitalizations.

Only Fulton County (301) has more deaths than Cobb. Gwinnett has the most cases in the state, with 5,753, followed by Fulton (5,325) and DeKalb (4,541), then Cobb.

Those figures are according to the Georgia Department of Public Health, which updates figures daily at 3 p.m.

The number of positive viral tests in Georgia now stands at 60,912 for an infection rate of 8.4 percent for viral tests. A total of 2,605 Georgians have died due to COVID-19. The Cobb infection rate is 5.3 percent.

The state data also breaks down cases and deaths by race, sex and ethnicity, and indicates whether those who’ve died also had comorbidities (other health issues).

The vast majority of COVID-19 deaths in Georgia have been people who are 60 and older:  1,050 are 80 and older, 696 are from ages 70-79 and 490 deaths have been between ages 60-69.

A total of 178 of Cobb’s 224 deaths have been people ages 70 and older: 31 for ages 90 and older, 72 for ages 80-89 and 74 for ages 70-79. Another 22 people in Cobb have died between the ages of 60-69.

The highest number of cases is taking place among younger populations, especially as the rate of testing has increased. A total of 10,702 cases in Georgia are between the ages of 18-29, 10,359 between 50-59, 10,170 between 40-49 and 9,746 between 40-49.

The respective number of deaths in those groups are 11, 217, 96 and 44.

In Cobb County, the age group with the most cases is ages 50-59, with 608 cases. There have been 593 cases for ages 40-49, 581 cases for ages 30-39 and 512 cases for ages 20-29.

Since there’s been a bit of a bump in COVID-19 cases in Georgia, we’re taking a second look this week at how that breaks down in Cobb County and East Cobb in particular.

On Monday, we posted with an update showing 608 positive tests (cumulative) in the five ZIP codes in East Cobb.

As of Friday afternoon, that number had grown to 650, according to figures posted by Cobb and Douglas Public Health.

Here’s a link to a hover map (screenshot above) that tracks the number of cases by each ZIP Code and contains related data.

The biggest jump in East Cobb took place in 30067, which had 174 cases at the start of the week, and now has a reported 192 cases. The biggest number in the county remains 30060, which has 430 positive cases, followed by 30127 (337) and 30008 (309).

• 30066: 150 (140)
• 30068: 113 (109)

The totals are compiled by the Georgia Department of Public Health, State Electronic Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (SENDSS) but do not include the number of deaths by ZIP Code.

Across Cobb County there have been 3,522 confirmed cases of COVID-19 overall, 215 total deaths and 752 hospitalizations.

The rate of testing also has gone up significantly in Georgia, with 586,426 viral tests (to determine whether someone’s infected) and 110,825 antibody tests.

Georgia DPH had been combining them but now lists them separately.

Earlier this month the Cobb and Douglas Public Health Department began breaking down the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in each county by ZIP Code, as part of a rollout of more data about how the virus has spread.

That also came right before statewide lockdowns began to be lifted.

We posted about that on May 7, and thought we’d revisit those numbers as well as others across the state over the past three weeks.

With more testing taking place in Cobb and Georgia, public health officials have acknowledged that the number of positive tests would be going up. In three East Cobb ZIP Codes, the number of COVID-19 cases has surpassed triple figures, and another will soon reach that mark.

Here’s the ZIP Code breakdown for East Cobb areas as of Wednesday, with the May 7 numbers in parenthesis:

• 30062: 160 (113)
• 30067: 150 (93)
• 30066: 126 (95)
• 30068: 98 (68)
• 30075: 14 (11)

None of those figures, which come from the Georgia Department of Public Health, State Electronic Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (SENDSS), include the number of deaths by ZIP Code.

As of noon Thursday, there have been 45,070 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Georgia, and 1,962 deaths. A total of 523,359 tests have been conducted across the state.

That compares with 34,848 cases and 1,494 deaths on May 12.

In Cobb County, there are 2,924 confirmed cases of the virus and 164 deaths. On May 12, Cobb had 2,253 cases and 124 deaths.

The Georgia Department of Public Health updates those figures three times a day.
