Evidence of COVID fatalities in Swedish neighborhoods from a full population study

Introduction

The ongoing COVID pandemic has reminded us that the features that endow cities with distinctive socioeconomic advantages, such as their vast socioeconomic networks and their density, also make them vulnerable to the spread of pathogens, especially emerging infectious diseases1,2,3. It is by now well known in the social sciences that the effects of urban environments on individual-level outcomes are mediated, to a large extent, by local residential contexts, i.e., neighborhoods4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11.
