A Poor People’s Pandemic Report
A Poor People’s Pandemic Report: Mapping the Intersections of Poverty, Race and COVID-19 aggregates data from more than 3,200 counties to connect information about COVID-19 deaths to other demographic characteristics, including income, race, health insurance status and more. The data are organized in an interactive dashboard and digital report (StoryMap) to narrate the intersections between poverty, race and the pandemic. To overcome the limits of current poverty measures, the poverty data includes everyone living under 200% of the poverty line (OPM). Where the SPM is used, it is clearly indicated. An intersectional analysis was used as a methodological tool to uncover how poverty, age, gender, race, ethnicity, disability and class intersect with COVID-19 outcomes.
