Madera County’s Adjusted Case Rate is 3.1 per 100,000, orange tier is 2.0-5.9. The County Positivity Rate is 1.6%, orange tier is 2.0-4.9%. The Health Equity Rate for Madera County is 1.3%. Less than 5.2% is orange tier. Madera County has met orange tier data for 2 weeks in a row so we officially moved to the orange tier!

This data is for the timeframe of 4/25/21—5/1/21. Madera County’s unadjusted and adjusted case rate are in the orange tier: the unadjusted case rate is 3.1. per 100,000 and the adjusted case rate is 3.1 per 100,000.

Testing in Madera County is 269.6 per 100,000 which is below the state median of 325.91 per 100,000. We need to start testing at a higher rate to avoid being adjusted upward.

The test positivity rate countywide is in the orange tier at 1.6%. The positivity rate in the lowest HPI quartile is 1.3% which is in the red tier.
