Americans who live in mostly black or Hispanic neighborhoods are FOUR TIMES more likely to die of COVID-19 compared to people living in white neighborhoods, study finds
Researchers looked at all 3,142 U.S. counties and determined how much of the population was black and Hispanic as well as income inequality
A community that was 20% black had a COVID-19 infection rate of 1,000 out of 100,000 and a mortality rate of 25 out of 100,000
In comparison, counties in which 50% was black saw an coronavirus infection rate of 2,000 out of 100,000 and a mortality rate rate of 60 out of 100,000
For Hispanics, a community with a 20% Hispanic population saw an infection rate of 1,500 out of 100,000 and a mortality rate of 25 out of 100,000
