NYC Coronavirus Death Toll By Zip Code Released

NEW YORK CITY — New Yorkers can find out how many people have died from novel coronavirus in their zip codes, more than two months since the crisis first unfurled.

The Health Department released Monday more data — including the death count per zip code — and found the virus running rampant in poor neighborhoods and among people of color.

“The data also show that this virus is not hitting New Yorkers equitably," said Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot. "That reality is guiding the COVID-19 response."

The map shows much lower death counts in New York's wealthier neighborhoods — Tribeca zip code 10007, the richest in the city, has lost three of its residents — while in West Queens zip code 11368, 369 lives were lost.

That's the same zip code that contains Corona, Queens, deemed last month to be the epicenter of New York City's pandemic.

Those in the very high poverty bracket saw a death rate of 232.03 per 100,000 while low poverty New Yorkers saw less than half that rate at 99.56, data show.

Five outer borough neighborhoods saw the highest fatality rates:

• Canarsie, Brooklyn (11239): 612.24 deaths per 100,000 residents
• Rockaway, Queens (11691): 444.73 deaths per 100,000 residents
• Flushing/Clearview, Queens (11354): 434.09 deaths per 100,000 residents
• Northeast Bronx (10469): 429.32 deaths per 100,000 residents
• Coney Island/Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn (11224): 415.85 deaths per 100,000 residents

Black and Latino New Yorkers continue to die at about twice the rate of white New Yorkers, when adjusted for age, data show.

The death rate per 100,000 people is 212.79 for Hispanic New Yorkers, 204.79 for Black New Yorkers and 102.94 for white New Yorkers, data show.

As of Monday afternoon, an estimated 20,806 New York City residents had died from COVID-19, 50,217 had been hospitalized and 191,073 cases confirmed, data show.
