Figure 5

Associations between rurality and histoplasmosis incidence for counties reporting >1 case in 8 US states for which data were available, 2011–2014 and 2019–2020. For counties with >1 case of histoplasmosis, bivariate map shows county incidence (split into low-, mid-, and high-incidence tertiles) versus rurality (micropolitan and noncore, medium and small metropolitan, and large metropolitan counties); colors indicate the combination of incidence-rurality levels for each county. Counties without a case are shown in white. Inset map indicates names of the 8 states.
