But once the virus started spreading rapidly across the city, its devastating effects fell hardest on Black and Latino residents. Ward 8, which is 92% Black, has seen the highest per-capita death rate from the virus in the District. And citywide, 74% of residents who have died from the coronavirus are Black, even though Black people make up 46% of the city's population.
