In the midst of the novel COVID-19 outbreak, Americans around the country are doing their part to slow the spread, some more than others. Unacast Inc., a data driven company, put the United States to the test to see who was slowing down their day-to-day travel and increasing their social distancing.

"According to the World Health Organization and the CDC, social distancing is currently the most effective way to slow the spread of COVID-19. We created this interactive Scoreboard, updated daily, to empower organizations to measure and understand the efficacy of social distancing initiatives at the local level," says Unacast. 

The data broke down the change in average distance traveled at the state and county level using High-quality GPS Data.

Overall, the United States was graded a B with -40% change in average distance traveled.

Indiana (-34%), Kentucky (-35%), and Ohio (-38%) all received a B grade. 

Locally, three counties received A's. 

  • Ohio Co., IN: -55%
  • Hamilton Co., OH: -43%
  • Kenton Co., KY: -42%

The remaining local counties ranged from B-F grades:

  • Ripley Co., IN: B (-31%)
  • Boone Co., KY: C (-28%)
  • Switzerland Co., IN C (-27%)
  • Dearborn Co., IN: C (-26%) 
  • Gallatin Co., KY: F (-3%)

Data continues to be updated daily as the situation develops and government officials change orders in regards to stricter social distancing rules.
