Demographic Disparities in COVID-19 Disruptions: What Has Shaped Them?

Review, 2023, vol. 105, issue 4, 279 pages

Abstract: This article uses the Community Impact Survey implemented by the Federal Reserve System in 2021 to identify COVID-19 disruptions on low- to moderate-income communities. I find that communities that were primarily of Color were more likely to be significantly disrupted by COVID-19 than White communities. I also assess the importance of certain challenges, such as returning to work or unequal access to government relief, in shaping the observed demographic differences in disruption.
