Coronavirus-attributed deaths per one million people:

State Deaths/mil Louisiana 51.6 New Jersey 30.1 Washington 29.3 New York 28.3 Michigan 26.4 Vermont 19.2 District of Columbia 12.8 Georgia 10.2 Connecticut 10.1 Colorado 8.9 Massachusetts 8.8 Illinois 8.3 Rhode Island 7.6 Indiana 7.4 Delaware 7.2 Mississippi 6.7 Nevada 5.8 Oklahoma 5.8 Pennsylvania 5.4 Ohio 4.7 North Dakota 3.9 California 3.9 Idaho 3.9 Oregon 3.8 Wisconsin 3.8 Montana 3.7 Maine 3.7 Florida 3.6 South Carolina 3.5 Kansas 3.4 Arizona 3.3 Virginia 3.2 Maryland 3.0 Alaska 2.7 Kentucky 2.7 Alabama 2.7 Arkansas 2.3 Missouri 2.3 Iowa 2.2 New Hampshire 2.2 Minnesota 2.1 New Mexico 1.9 Tennessee 1.9 Texas 1.7 Nebraska 1.6 Utah 1.2 South Dakota 1.1 North Carolina 0.9 West Virginia 0.6 Hawaii 0.0 Wyoming 0.0

There aren’t any obvious demographic patterns that jump out to me. The correlation between confirmed cases and deaths is 0.86–not perfect, but close enough to assume states are largely on the same page when it comes to tracking the virus at this point.

The Northeast is getting crushed while the central corridor is getting off pretty easily. My mental map had California under siege, but that’s because media reporting has states ordered by absolute cases and deaths rather than by the rates of each (hence the impetus for creating the maps and tables). California is faring relatively well.
