Spatial distribution of SARS-CoV-2 incidence, social inequality, housing conditions, and density in South-Eastern France: keys for future epidemics.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Early in 2021, the SARS-CoV-2 incidence rate was higher in the East than in the West of the Alpes-Maritimes district in France. What was the impact of social deprivation, household overcrowding and population density per km² on this difference in incidence rate?

Methods

Cases were defined as persons with a first SARS-CoV-2 positive test detected between 04/01/2021 and 14/02/2021. We studied the « French Deprivation index » (FDep), rate of overcrowded households and population density/km². These indicators were compared between East and West and a Standard Incidence Ratio (SIR) and an Incidence Rate Ratio (IRR) were calculated for each indicator. The link between the incidence rate and the socio-economic variables per census blocks (IRIS) wa
