The COVID-19 diagnosis rates for the two most populous counties in Washington State were obtained from the King and Spokane County Departments of Health. A limitation of this index is that we only used ZIP code level COVID-19 cases from two counties in Washington State to assess its validity. This COVID-19 vulnerability index is based on Zip-code level and publicly-available data on demographic, socioeconomic, and medical risk factors can be used to understand population-and community-level variation in susceptibility to COVID-19 across Washington State. ./cache/cord-313543-ad3c0hve.txt ./txt/cord-313543-ad3c0hve.txt
