Via New York City Councilmember Mark D. Levine (@MarkLevineNYC), this news that New York City has released data (here) on vaccination rates broken down by zip code.
On NYC's own webpage (here), there is a graphic that may interest those who are familiar with NYC's neighborhoods. Some commentators are already pointing out differences in vaccination rates by race and income level (to the extent that neighborhoods may--but do not flawlessly--function as proxies for more specific demographic info).
The reasons for differences in vaccination rates are no doubt extremely complex. The internet based sign-up system in New York City has been chaotic and difficult for even computer-savvy people to navigate. Those without internet service, time and/or computer skills have been disadvantaged, to say the least.
My guess is that we'll see more of these types of visuals and and more complete analyses as the vaccination rollout continues.
