Computer vision and big data image sources make national studies of built environment effects on COVID-19 risk possible, to inform local area decision-making.ĬOVID-19 GIS big data built environment computer vision machine learning.Ĭenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Cases in the U.S. Sociodemographic disparities also highlight differential COVID-19 risk across groups of people. Our findings suggest that built environment characteristics can help characterize community-level COVID-19 risk. Percent black and percent with less than a high school education were associated with more COVID-19 cases. Indicators of lower urban development (single lane roads and green streets) were connected with fewer COVID-19 cases.

Indicators of mixed land use (non-single family home), walkability (sidewalks), and physical disorder (dilapidated buildings and visible wires) were connected with higher COVID-19 cases.

We utilized Poisson regression models to determine associations of built environment characteristics with COVID-19 cases. We leveraged Google Street View (GSV) images and computer vision to detect built environment features (presence of a crosswalk, non-single family home, single-lane roads, dilapidated building and visible wires). Neighborhood built environments that allow greater flow of people into an area or impede social distancing practices may increase residents' risk for contracting the virus. Neighborhood environments may structure risks and resources that produce COVID-19 disparities. The spread of COVID-19 is not evenly distributed.
