Graphs of the ratios confirmed cases/population and deaths/population against the percent of Hispanic population in each California county are shown below, There are seen to be noticeable correlations (R²). The probability of a confirmed case is seen to be two to three times for counties with twice the percentage of Hispanic populations.

There appears to be a much higher ratio (~seven times higher) of Confirmed cases to the population for incarcerated people compared to the overall ratio for all California counties and deaths/population being a factor of two higher for Incarcerated compared to the overall California population. On the other hand, the deaths/population is lower for both incarcerated prisoners and the prison staff compared to the overall California population.
