Cover Story: COVID-19 has hit some areas harder than others, and research has shown that factors such as race, income inequality, and political ideology may be responsible. We looked at county-level data from across the United States to see how different societal conditions are related to COVID-19 mortality rates. We found that counties with more Black and Hispanic residents, had higher mortality rates in addition to higher income inequality. We also found that counties where more people voted for Trump in the 2020 election had higher mortality rates. While healthcare related factors played a role, they were not as significant as social ones. These findings suggest that social conditions are important predictors of COVID-19 outcomes and that addressing underlying inequalities is crucial for health policy. View this paper
