Neighborhoods with the Highest Number of COVID-19 Deaths
Total COVID-19 deaths by NYC neighborhood, with a strong correlation (R²=0.73) between case count and death count. Brighton Beach, Corona, and Allerton recorded the highest death tolls among all neighborhoods.
COVID-19 Death Rate and Households Below the Poverty Line
The 2022 "A Poor People's Pandemic Report" revealed that people in poorer counties across the U.S. died at almost twice the rate of those in wealthier counties. Factors such as limited access to healthcare, underlying health conditions, overcrowded living conditions, and occupational exposure contributed to higher mortality rates in impoverished neighborhoods.
Higher Rate of Death Among Nonwhite Neighborhoods
During the first year of the pandemic, Latino/a and Black New Yorkers died from COVID-19 at twice the rate of White New Yorkers (264 and 247 vs. 126 per 100,000 people, respectively). Chronic health conditions and income gaps, linked to structural racism in healthcare and historical disinvestment, contributed to more severe illness and death in these communities.
Lack of Internet Access and Lower Vaccination Rates
According to the CDC, limited access to high-speed internet and digital devices can hinder people from receiving up-to-date information about vaccine availability, eligibility, and safety. The digital divide disproportionately affects low-income and older populations, making it challenging for them to navigate online platforms for vaccine registration.
