COVID-19 in Florida: A Disparities Dashboard
Outcomes are presented by race/ethnicity and age for the state, as well as nine counties of interest. Unemployment data trends are presented to illuminate the interplay between COVID 19, employment status, and racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes.
We note that outcomes and disparities vary widely by county. This is likely due to a confluence of factors, such as the demographic and socio-economic makeup of the county (e.g., age distribution, poverty rate, uninsurance rate), among others. We also note limitations in the available data, such as availability of data by age within race/ethnicity groups.
Research has shown that Blacks and Hispanics are least likely to self-report their race/ethnicities (Source: Dembosky, Jacob W et al., 2019). Given the relatively high proportion of individuals reported as of “Unknown” race, it is important to note that the observed COVID-19 disparities may be underestimated and as such, may not give a true reflection of the state of COVID-19 disparities in Florida and the presented Counties.
