ElDo County and Placer county are cheek-by-jowl along the West Shore(Tahoma, Homewood, Meeks Bay, Rubicon, Tahoe City). Vaccination rates are slowly rising, approaching levels recommended by epidemiologists. So, ElDo county has these numbers:
All residents: 42%
12+ yrs old 48%
18+ 51%
65+ 69%
Placer County numbers
All residents: 45%
12+ 52%
18+ 56%
65+ 77% Clearly, Placer County has the edge, or about a 10% improvement over its near neighbor to the south. How is this explained? Hmmm. Location of population nodes? Perhaps. Where are the vaccinated living? Most of the folks in both counties live "down the hill". Those who live in the basin or along the Truckee R. or South fork of the Yuba represent a fraction of all residents. On the one hand, large nodes of population should facilitate vaccination rates. On the other, remotely located residents are harder to get to by definition. Winter conditions restrict access definitely, but 2020/2021 was one of the most mild(less snow), ergo, no excuses there. An opinion poll among those inside the Basin would help to explain the disparity; or, more to the point, where have most of the doses been injected. More to follow.
By comparison: let's have a look at Marvelous Marin County in the Bay Area:
All 67%
12+ 76%
18+ 79%
65+ 84%
