Correlations of COVID-19 incidence with neighborhood socio-demographic factors in British Columbia Lower Mainland

This study aims to assess the relationships of the proportions of neighborhood level socio-demographic factors- race/ethnicity, level of education and occupations with COVID-19 incidence rate. Data on 81,426 confirmed COVID-19 cases collected from BC's Lower Mainland between August 1, 2020 and April 7, 2021 were analyzed. The Kendall's correlations of neighborhood concentrations of certain minority groups, low education level and occupations in trades and essential services with the incidence rate were significant indicating disparities in exposure to the infection.
