Fig 4. Identifying EJ communities with high COVID-19 and asthma burdens.
(A) Of the 137 census tracts that were deemed of EJ concern, 75 (55%) had estimated prevalence of asthma at or above the 75th percentile for the state. The majority of these CTs were located in the major urban areas, with others spread across the more rural areas of the state (B). A similar pattern was observed for CTs that were of concern for EJ, asthma as well as COVID-19. About a third of the 15 EJ CTs deemed areas of concern for both asthma and COVID-19 were located in the northwestern part of the State in Caddo Parish (C).
