Hardest-Hit Communities

The hardest-hit communities the Taskforce on Racial Inclusion & Equity has focused on since its launch include those most impacted by COVID-19, in addition to communities that have a high percentage of other health and socioeconomic disparities. At the time the Taskforce was established, these communities accounted for over 50% of all the City's COVID-19 cases.
