NOTE: THIS DATASET IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED DAILY. Summary The cumulative number of positive COVID-19 cases among Maryland residents within a single Maryland ZIP code.

Description The MD COVID-19 - Cases by ZIP data layer is a collection of positive COVID-19 test results that have been reported each day by the local health department via the NEDSS system. Upon reaching a limit to the Socrata Platform, we decided to break the data into two parts. We now have "MD COVID-19 - Cases by ZIP Code" (for 2023), "MD COVID-19 - Cases by ZIP Code Archive (2021)", and "MD COVID-19 - Cases by ZIP Code Archive (2020)".

The Data can be freely distributed as long as the metadata entry is not modified or deleted. Any data derived from the Data must acknowledge the State of Maryland in the metadata.

Case data aggregates to ZIP Codes do not reflect cases with missing, out of state, or incorrect ZIP Codes. Therefore, statewide totals of aggregate ZIP Code data may not match other statewide aggregate totals.

Deprecated as of 4/27/2023On 4/27/2023 several COVID-19 datasets were retired and no longer included in public COVID-19 data dissemination.

COVID-19 is a new virus that hasn't caused illness in humans before. Worldwide, COVID-19 has resulted in thousands of infections, causing illness and in some cases death. Cases have spread to countries throughout the world, with more cases reported daily. The Maryland Department of Health reports daily on COVID-19 cases by county.

Introduction: The spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) across the United States has highlighted the long-standing nationwide health inequalities with socioeconomically challenged communities experiencing a higher burden of the disease. We assessed the impact of neighborhood socioeconomic characteristics on the COVID-19 prevalence across seven selected states (i.e., Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia).Methods: We obtained cumulative COVID-19 cases reported at the neighborhood aggregation level by Departments of Health in selected states on two dates (May 3rd, 2020, and May 30th, 2020) and assessed the correlation between the COVID-19 prevalence and neighborhood characteristics. We developed Area Deprivation Index (ADI), a composite measure to rank neighborhoods by their socioeconomic characteristics, using the 2018 US Census American Community Survey. The higher ADI rank represented more disadvantaged neighborhoods.Results: After controlling for age, gender, and the square mileage of each community we identified Zip-codes with higher ADI (more disadvantaged neighborhoods) in Illinois and Maryland had higher COVID-19 prevalence comparing to zip-codes across the country and in the same state with lower ADI (less disadvantaged neighborhoods) using data on May 3rd. We detected the same pattern across all states except for Florida and Virginia using data on May 30th, 2020.Conclusion: Our study provides evidence that not all Americans are at equal risk for COVID-19. Socioeconomic characteristics of communities appear to be associated with their COVID-19 susceptibility, at least among those study states with high rates of disease.
