Map: Pediatric Hospital & PICU Capacity by County & State Data: U.S. Dept of Health & Human Services, American National Standards Institute As of Feb 17, 2023 Shows a color scale of 7-day average inpatient beds occupied over 7-day average inpatient beds staff for 48 contiguous states only. Scale runs from black (well over 140%), to purple (120%), to red (80%), to orange (50%), to light yellow (10%). Counties for which no hospitals/beds are reported are represented by colored hatch marks reflecting state-level average. Sparse grey dots show vast expanses where no PICU beds are reported. Dense patterns of black dots represent counties where PICUs are full or near full. Much of the map is hatched red-orange with grey dots, with purple-red-orange counties. Interspersed with scattered yellow, mostly in Mississippi watershed and central Texas, with some larger yellow counties in the western states. Black and black-dotted counties can be spied in all regions. The state of Idaho stands out as a purple-grey hatch surrounded red/orange/yellow hatches in surrounding states.
