In a multivariable linear regression model (table 2) it was noted than proportion of residents above the age of 65 years, proportion of African American residents, proportion of females, persons per household and population density of the zip code was significantly associated with increased likelihood of positive cases in a zip code (P <= 0.01). We demonstrate that zip codes with a greater proportion of residents above 65 years of age, African American residents, persons per household, and population density were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of COVID-19 cases. ./cache/cord-314690-jc6cx76a.txt ./txt/cord-314690-jc6cx76a.txt
