First, those are some of the largest counties in the state for population, so that doesn't reflect the per capita number of cases.
https://covid19.ncdhhs.gov/dashboard
Take, for instance, Duplin County, with a population of less than 60,000. It has had 1,182 confirmed cumulative cases as of now. Wake County has 3,011 as of now, so while there are more cases, Wake County has a population exceeding 1,000,000 with 28 cumulative cases per 10,000 residents while Duplin County (between Raleigh and Wilmington) has 201 cumulative cases per 10,000 residents. And the health care infrastructure is going to look very different somewhere like Duplin County than it will in Wake County.
