[Preprint, not peer-reviewed] Using publicly available neighborhood-level data on COVID-19 cases from 58 US urban counties and the two largest cities in Canada, Saha et al. reported a consistent finding that the most racially and/or economically privileged neighborhoods had the lowest rates of COVID-19 cases and deaths. No consistent trends were found for the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 testing rates and neighborhood deprivation.
