Can't imagine why "Most people" would wonder about that. Seems quite obvious. NYC which is the vast majority of deaths in New York State (12,067 in NYC alone with 16,599 in the entirety of NY State) is a hellava lot more population density than anywhere Florida or pretty much anywhere in the US.
It's all due to population density as well as the demographics of those who are dying especially in NYC with people of color & lower income being affected the most.
New York City's population density (including all boroughs) of 26,403 people per square mile , makes it the densest of any American municipality with a population above 100,000. Manhattan's population density is 66,940 people per square mile , highest of any county in the United States.
