California Neighborhoods and COVID-19 Vulnerabilities

Author(s): Ong, Paul; Pech, Chhandara; Potter, Megan | Abstract: this new report by CNK consists of a series of policy briefs covering the social and economic impacts of COVID-19 on neighborhoods throughout California. The project focuses on identifying the broad vulnerabilities to COVID-19 and their disparities across neighborhoods in California. For this analysis, the census tract is the basic unit of analysis and serves as a reasonable proxy for neighborhood bounds. This analysis examines five dimensions of vulnerability across five tracts.n
