Coronavirus deadliest in NYC’s Black, Latino neighbourhoods: Data

Al Jazeera  

The coronavirus death rates are nearly 15 times higher in some Black, Latino areas than in some White neighbourhoods. Some New York City neighbourhoods have seen death rates from the novel coronavirus nearly 15 times higher than others, according to data released by New York City’s health department on Monday, showing the disproportionate toll taken on poor communities. Civic leaders had been pushing for the more granular data, which they said would show stark racial and economic disparities after New York City became the heart of one of the worst coronavirus outbreaks in the world in March and April. A long subway ride away, in Far Rockaway, in the borough of Queens, which is more than 40 percent Black and 25 percent Latino or Hispanic, the death rate is nearly 15 times higher: 444 deaths per 100,000 residents. This, in graphic form, shows it’s even greater than maybe many of us feared.” Poor Black and Latino New Yorkers are much more likely to do low-paid, essential jobs that cannot be done remotely, putting them at higher risk of exposure, Levine said.
