The impacts of the built environment on the incidence rate of COVID-19: A case study of King County, Washington
Abstract
Focus on the impacts of built environment on incidence rate of COVID-19 in metropolitan area. Multiple linear regression and geographically weighted regression models are built at the ZIP code scale. Socioeconomic indicators are the primary factors influencing COVID-19. Built environment density is positively associated with incidence rates. Increased open space is conducive to reducing incidence rates and overcrowded households leads to an increase in incidence rates.
