Linnea Warren May Evan D. Peet

Abstract

To examine vulnerability to COVID-19 and the pandemic's impacts within a specific community, the RAND Corporation, the Black Equity Coalition, and Surgo Ventures partnered to consider disparities in Allegheny County in southwest Pennsylvania. Researchers created an interactive online tool to show how testing, cases, deaths, and the ability to practice physical distancing have been distributed across neighborhoods and populations.
