Covid19 Demographics In New York City
The statistical breakdown comes via the NYPost (Racial breakdown of NYC coronavirus deaths reveals ‘disparities,’ de Blasio says ) and concentrates only on ethnic/racial data. What strikes me is that the disparities are far less glaring than in other major cities:
Hispanics 34% deaths (29% of NYC population)
African A 28% deaths (22% of NYC population)
Whites 27% deaths (32% of NYC population)
Asians 7% deaths (14% of NYC population)
And, if I may be permitted a self-congratulatory self-administered pat on the back, these numbers confirm what I earlier claimed. Contrary to the claims of some that the Asian population was a center of the outbreak, these numbers show (as I maintained) that it was relatively less affected than other demographic groups.
