COVID-19 in Toronto Neighbourhoods

Throughout this presentation, various factors will be analyzed for their potential impact on the number of COVID-19 cases by neighbourhood

Below is a map that shows the comparison of using the two different evaluation methods.

As mentioned above, with an exception of very few outliers, the two maps generally have their darkest values in the same neighbourhoods. This is especially true in the Northwest corner of the city, which likely proves that the factors of income and household size can explain the observed high case rate in that area.

In conclusion, spatial analysis can be used to predict COVID-19 case rates by looking at the spatial distributions of socioeconomic factors and the accessibility to healthcare.
