What that tells me is that the density of a population has a lot to do with the chance of becoming infected.

Also population centers having high percentages of people who travel for business and personal reasons have relatively high infection rates.
And people who work/spend time in buildings/facilities where the air is recirculated and shared. Elevators are a likely hot spot.
