This article details a project to develop and assess a predictive model of vulnerability indicators of COVID-19 in Los Angeles County, California. Four public health indicators were used for ZIP code tabulation: (1) pre-existing health conditions, (2) barriers to accessing health care, (3) built environment risk, and (4) the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Social Vulnerability Index. The results showed disparities for Black and Latinx populations across all four health indicators.
