Project poster

While the COVID-19 pandemic spared no region in the world and left in its wake an unprecedented public health and economic crisis, it has exposed and exacerbated pre-existing socioeconomic inequalities both globally and domestically. Using publicly available datasets, we have built a model that identifies neighborhoods in Miami that are most vulnerable to post-pandemic recession. This will enable government officials and policymakers to make data-informed decisions to spur the revival of the city’s economy.
